Leukemia and Lymphoma Society Fundraiser for Blood Cancer Research
Hi everyone!
Welcome to the last 24 hours of the fundraiser! The page officially closes Saturday, 2/20 at 6:00 PM EST with the LLS Grand Finale. With 24 hours left, we are just shy of $4000. For the home stretch, there's still plenty of time to make a huge impact on people's lives and help contribute in the fight to find a cure for cancer once and for all.
Thank you once again for all your support and taking the time to visit this page,
Lianna Homrich

Week 2 of the campaign has officially begun! Thank you so much to everyone who contributed to the campaign already during Week 1. Week 1 was definitely a success with 11 donations and $960 raised out of our $5000 goal. These contributions will save countless lives and help advance the world one step closer to finding a cure for cancer.

Leukemia and Lymphoma Society Fundraiser for Blood Cancer Research
Welcome to my fundraising page!
My name is Lianna, and I am a junior in Atlanta, Ga. I enjoy speech and debate, soccer, leading retreats, and working as a camp counselor during the summers.
This holiday season, I am hoping to raise awareness for blood cancers in order to help find a cure! Did you that know every 3 minutes in America, someone is diagnosed with a blood cancer, with more than 33% of blood cancer patients not surviving five years after diagnosis? An amazing and critical organization in fighting for the 1.2 million+ people living with some form of blood cancer is the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (LLS). Since 1949, LLS has invested $1.3 billion in ground-breaking research, and since then, five-year survival rates for blood cancers have doubled, or in some cases, quadrupled. In the past 4 years alone, LLS has funded 53 of 63 FDA approved treatments for combatting diseases of this category. Their mission is to cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin’s disease and myeloma, and improve the quality of life of patients and their families.
I encourage you to join me in supporting The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) by making a donation to my fundraising campaign. By donating to LLS, you support the many facets of LLS’s mission work from investing in groundbreaking research, providing education and support to patients, and advocating at the state and federal level for legislation to help those living with cancer. My appreciation for your support cannot be overstated — each and every dollar donated to LLS brings us closer to our goal to end blood cancer and makes an impact for cancer patients and their families.
Please visit my website as often as you can and share it with everyone you know who would also like to join us in the fight against cancer. Together, we have the power, the passion and the resolve to achieve a world without blood cancer. All donations are tax-deductible.
Thank you so much for your support!
