Thank you for visiting my fundraising page! Let's Fund The Cure!

My name is Rachel Shore and I am taking on the challenge of being nominated for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Students of The Year! I became involved with LLS after seeing how cancer has impacted the lives of so many people around me; In 2014 my mom was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. After watching her journey as well as the journeys of so many other cancer fighters in my life I became passionate about philanthropy and cancer research. I became involved with Riley Hospital's CSCE in honor of Caroline Symmes who lost her battle to Wilms Tumor in 2009 and work alongside so many amazing individuals dedicated to cancer research! I am beyond honored to have the opportunity to work with The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society! 

For many cancer patients the reason the battle is so difficult is not because they do not have support systems and resources instead it is because of a lack of research. This is where LLS steps in because of donations like yours LLS is able to fund the research for blood cancer! Since 2017 alone LLS has helped advance 60 of the 71 blood cancer treatment options approved by the FDA! 

I would like to dedicate my campaign with the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society to the following individuals; their courage, bravery, and strength within their battles against cancer have inspired me in so many ways. 

Brooks Blackmore, Charlie Smith, Jess Cooper, Katie Rutherford, Tyler Trent, Caroline Symmes, and finally my beautiful mother Heather Shore.
 

During this seven week campaign I will be making a difference in the lives of those with blood cancer and I need your help to do it! 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. Together we can we apart of the generation that beats blood cancer! 

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.
