Welcome to Katie Jungels' SOY Fundraising Page!

Thank you so much for visiting my page! Sarah and I are so excited to be fundraising for such an important cause that is so commited to finding a cure. Too many people have to hear the words " you have cancer" and we want to do everything we can to lower that number. Every three minutes someone is diagnosed with a blood cancer and with your help we can shrink that number. Thank you for your help! 

 

 

Welcome to Katie Jungels' SOY Fundraising Page!

Dec 17, 2018

I am honored to participate in the 2019 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. I am proud to be raising critical dollars in honor of a young patient hero who is 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(s) 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!

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 blood cancer patients everywhere, thank you for your support!

    Katie, Thank you for stepping up as a student and being such a strong advocate to finding a cure for LLS. My niece, Emily, was treated for LLS as a young girl and she is one of the lucky ones who was treated and cured. Many or most are not so fortunate. Your tenacity and ambition to raise money to find a cure is an inspiration to many. As you said in your letter - not someday, but today. Joe Sheils and Kate Evert
