Welcome Everyone! I am so excited to start this incredible 7-week challenge to raise money in support of those who are affected by blood cancers. Whichever high school student raises the most funds by the end of the 7-weeks will win Student Of the Year Iowa chapter; we can also potentially even compete at the national level! We can do this, I just need your help! 
With this fundraising page, you can donate money to the incredible Leukemia Lymphoma Society (LLS). My goal and my team's goal is to raise awareness, funding for furthering research and being those "battle buddies" to all who cannot fight alone. As my family has had personal experience with the support of LLS through my mom's lymphoma journey, my campaign is a huge thank you to give in return! With your support and love, we can accomplish great things! We want to create a better future for patients, and the next generation of individuals so they do not have to suffer. Can I count on you to help kick cancer's butt? As always, thank you!

- Anna Keiderling, SOY Candidate 2021

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.

My determination and drive for Student of the Year (SOY) is my mom, Amy. March 17th, 2020 my mom was diagnosed with Stage 4 Non-Hodgkin's Folicular Lymphoma. My goal is to help those like my mom fight this battle, be their backbone, raise awareness, and to help create a brighter future for a world without cancer. We as a community can do more and be more together! Let's kick blood cancer's butt!

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. We want those survival rates to continue to increase.

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. With your love and support we can accomplish great things! 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, their families, and my own family, I sincerely thank you for your support! Our job is not done, until cancer is done.
