Hello!

We are so excited to have the opportunity to support the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society by raising money that will help many cancer patients and their families. We have a team of 30 students, many with connections to the LLS cause, who are dedicated to supporting this amazing foundation.

Our inspiration for our campaign is our cousin, Madeline Adams, who passed away at the age of 24 due to Leukemia. Although we never had the chance to know her, we are inspired by the legacy she has left behind among her family and friends. Throughout her illness she led with unceasing strength, courage and grace, forever inspiring those who knew and loved her. If she were still with us, Madeline would be celebrating her 53rd birthday this year. In her honor, we have set our fundraising goal at $53,000. 

Our personal ties motivate us to work to make a difference, and we hope you will join in this great effort to meet this goal. Large or small, your contribution to this worthy effort is greatly appreciated and acknowledged. 

 

Many thanks,

Tanner and Evelyn

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page, welcome!

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.

As a global leader in the fight to end cancer, LLS is committed to doing more for blood cancer patients and families than any organization in the world. LLS’s signature fundraising campaigns drive critical support for its mission, including a nearly $1.3 billion investment in cutting edge cancer research worldwide since it was founded in 1949. Since the 1960s, survival rates for many blood cancer patients have doubled, tripled, or even quadrupled.

Every facet of LLS’s mission – research, education and support, and policy and advocacy – work in harmony to put blood cancer patients and their families first. LLS has helped millions impacted by cancer throughout its more than 70-year history, even funding breakthrough blood cancer research to advance lifesaving treatments and cures that is now helping patients with other cancers and diseases. That is why at LLS we say that beating cancer is in our blood.

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.

On behalf of cancer patients and their families everywhere, I sincerely thank you for your support!
