Hello there!

My name is Rehan Noon. I am honored to participate as a running candidate for the 2020 Students of the Year program, a philanthropic fundraising campaign in which select high school students from around the country participate in a fundraising competition to benefit The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. I am leading a team at my high school named Appo High's Cancer Guys and we are making it our goal to raise $50,000 for the LLS!

I have a personal connection to the LLS mission, as I have been fighting leukemia for approximately three years. Diagnosed on May 5th, 2017, my three-year therapy regimen will end in September 2020. Along the way, it has been truly inspiring to watch the collective efforts of people who are working together to support the cause of fighting blood cancers such as my own! Now, I have joined the fight against blood cancers in a different way as I work with my team to raise critical funds needed to ultimately find a cure! I am so proud to support my team Appo High's Cancer Guys and support the LLS mission of curing blood cancers while also improving the quality of patient/family life.

Since the early 1960s, five-year survival rates for many blood cancer patients have increased tremendously, quadrupling in a number of cases. Many LLS supported therapies not only help blood cancer patients but are helping patients with other cancers and serious diseases. In fact, drugs first approved for blood cancers are now approved to treat patients with stomach cancers, skin cancers, and autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis.

We really are changing the face of cancer itself!

All donations are greatly appreciated and are tax-deductible. They'll not only support LLS-funded research but will help provide critical information and support for patients, and support advocacy for laws to ensure patients can access the care and treatments they need.

Please let others know about this great cause and tell friends who would also like to donate!

On behalf of blood cancer patients everywhere, thank you for your generous support! It really does make a difference.
