Students of the Year Savannah

Welcome to Team Kingsmen's SOY Fundraising Page!

Jan 30, 2020

Hey everyone and Thank You for visitng my page! My name is Tishaun Tucker, an honored canidate for the 2020 Students of the Year program, a seven-week initiative in which select high school students from around the country participate in a fundraising competition to benefit The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.

This mission is personaI for me. I was just 8 yrs old when I was diagnosed with this terrible disease that impacted my entire family. My treatment was three long years. Although I am only 15 yrs old, I have decided to give back by raising critical dollars in honor of patients just like me an especially to our honored heros who are currently battling or is in remission from a blood cancer.

Each dollar is a vote. The candidate team that raises the most money at the end of the seven weeks is named Student of the Year. Our mission is to not only raise the most money but also to bring attention to blood cancers like leukemia, which is the most common form of cancer in children and teens.

Since the early 1960s, five-year survival rates for many blood cancer patients have doubled, tripled or even quadrupled. And 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 blood cancer! I have a first hand experience and if it had not been for organizations like LLS, I may not be here today to share give this message and ask for your support! Please help me get this WIN by showing your support with a donation. Every dollar adds up to change.

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 visit our website often and bring friends who would also like to donate!

On behalf of myself & blood cancer patients everywhere, thank you for your support!
