Peyton's Students of the Year Fundraiser
Thank you for visiting my fundraising page, welcome!
Throughout my whole life, Leukemia has been all around me. From cousins, to neighbors, dear friends, and loved ones, everyone has a connection to someone fighting cancer. It was these survivors that first inspired me to begin this incredible journey. Once I saw Jackson Stark - our local honored hero- my inspiration became a passion. Jackson was diagnosed with Stage 4 T-Cell ALL. Yet, after eight long months of intense treatments, he beat cancer. Not only did Jackson's story inspire me, but it gave me a mission- Jackson and millions like him are now my “why”.
I am honored to have been nominated as one of the 2021 Students of the Year candidates for LLS. Between January 28th and March 19th, I will be leading fundraising efforts to help find the cure to blood cancers. My team, Hearts for Heroes, is working extremely hard to meet and succeed a very lofty fundraising goal of $50,000. We are proud to represent survivors and confident that our efforts will help cancer patients all around the world. We have been given this amazing opportunity to help others and are very grateful for the chance. However, in order for us to reach this goal, we need YOU to fight alongside us in the race for change!
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!
