Students of the Year Northern Delaware
Erin Pearson | It's In Our Blood! - Archmere Academy
Welcome to Erin Pearson's SOY Fundraising Page!
Last year, I made the best decision of my life to run in the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Student of the Year Campaign, in honor of my grandma, Donna Pearson. After months of hard work and dedication, my amazing team and I rose over $93,000.00 for life-saving blood cancer research.
I cannot put into words how this experience has changed me as a person and opened my eyes to my calling to give back to others. When my campaign ended last year, I knew my team's hard work would make an impact on the lives of blood cancer patients, but I also knew that there was no amount of money raised, no matter how large, that could compensate for the millions of people every day that fight this debilitating disease or have lost a loved one. Because I did not want my contribution to be done, I have dedicated myself to fundraising once again, this time on the team of my friends Isabelle Hanlon and Briley Strine, who are 2020 SOY Candidates.
I was blown away by the support I received from friends, family, and strangers alike last year during my campaign, and my heart was touched by the hundreds of donations that were dedicated to a donor's personal connection. The generosity I felt from so many people who supported our efforts was indescribably special to me. Every single person who attended an event or made a donation helped LLS save lives.
LLS is an amazing non-profit that has changed the face of how we treat all types of cancers today and is beating cancer every day. I feel so lucky to be involved with LLS for another year, and I invite everyone to join me and LLS in saving lives!! Any donation is extremely appreciated and goes straight to lifesaving research and patient care. Your contribution will prevent someone from losing a child, parent, sibling, or loved one. Thank you in advance for your help, this is going to be another exciting campaign
