Leukemia is the leading type of cancer in children and young adults around the world. Students of the Year is a 7 week campaign held annually to raise money for the devastating but common cause of great suffering amongst thousands of families. Throughout this year's 2022 Students of the Year Campaign, our team, CANcer not CANTcer, led by co-canidates Anne Clark Byars and Regan Taylor, and joined by team members, Emma Ashe, Rylee Taylor, Flora Burdette, Caroline Chrystall, Emily Ellingson, Anna Beth Woolf, Kesler Campbell, Catherine Quillian, Parker Osborne, and Sage Christenson, has made a goal to raise $70,000. This can be made possible with the help of our community. By donating, lives are changing and cures are developing. Every dollar counts. By accepting this amazing opportunity to raise money and awareness for leukemia and lymphoma, people with blood cancer all around the world are more likely to be given a chance to live. Beginning January 9th, and throughout the next 7 weeks, we are extremely excited to announce that our fundraising page will be live and open for donations. This is an incredible opportunity we are able to take part in and help those in need. 

I have signed up to save lives with the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) and am working to raise as much as possible over the next 7 weeks. Every dollar raised counts as one vote for my campaign. The candidate(s) whose team tallies the most votes earns the prestigious title of Student or Students of the Year. Will you help me earn that title?
 
As you know, everyone wins when cancer loses. Thanks to your support, my efforts will help fund therapies and treatments that are saving lives. Over the years, support from people like you has been responsible for the blood cancer advancements that have doubled, tripled, and in some cases quadrupled the survival rate for some blood cancers.
 
Many LLS-supported therapies not only help blood cancer patients but are also now used to treat patients with rare forms of stomach and skin cancers and are in clinical trials for patients with lung, brain, breast, pancreatic and prostate cancers. And LLS-funded drugs like targeted therapies and immunotherapies are now saving thousands of lives every day.
 
We really are getting close to our goal of a world without blood cancers!
 
All donations are greatly appreciated and tax-deductible. They'll not only support LLS research, but patient services, advocacy, public and professional education, and community services as well.
 
Please visit my website often and tell friends who would also like to donate!
