Jack Gaitley | Helping Hands 4 Hope

My Why

Dec 13, 2020
I want to give people hope. I understand I am not going to be the person who completely shifts someone’s life, but I want people to laugh at my optimism, as long as it means they're laughing. I want to improve lives, even if it’s temporary, honor the young and old fighting everyday to live. I am here to honor those fighters and show that they have people in their corner. A team working for them and fighting so that one day they don’t have to keep fighting. I want to raise as much money as possible so kids don’t have to worry about the future or death and live in their present. I want to pump everyone with hope, those fighting blood cancers, their caregivers, and their community. A hope for a brighter future for everyone. I want people living with leukemia and lymphoma to know that there are people out there fighting for them and fighting for a better cure for their pain. I want to give people fist bumps, handshakes, and hi-fives with smiles on faces as we change lives. I want to see the last time that the cancer bell is rung. I want to be a part of a team that raised the money that made some kids' lives a whole lot less painful. I understand that I ALONE am not going to cure cancer, but I know damn well that I’m going to be a part of the team that does. Together we’re going to be the helping hands for whoever will. It takes a village and I want you to join me in being a part of the community who found a cure that changed millions of lives.
 

Jack's Students of the Year Fundraiser

Sep 15, 2020

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!
