Thank you for visiting this fundraising page in support of my daughter Karen and her classmates, D'ahni and Tressa, as they team up to participate in this year's Student of the Year campaign.  As the saying goes, a picture is worth a thousand words (and my initial letter asking for your support was wordy enough!)  As you consider your donation, please reflect once again on these pictures of my family/friends who have all been affected by blood-borne cancers.  If you are so inclined, feel free to check out Karen's fundraising page at https://events.lls.org/in/indianasoy21/kfecht (you can donate via my page or hers- all of the money goes into her campaign). You are also welcome to read the additional information regarding the LLS mission. 

With much appreciation,

Julie

LLS Mission:

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 share my website 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!
