Hello donors!! 

Our names are Megan, Erin, and Shaina, and we are honored to participate in the 2019 Students of the Year program. This is 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. We are running as candidates this year in honor of our grandmother, Giti Salehani, and are so proud to be raising critical dollars in honor of her battle against Lymphoma.

In this competition, each dollar is a vote and is therefore crucial to our campaign. The candidate team that raises the most money at the end of the seven weeks is named Student(s) of the Year. This year, our goal is to raise $35,000, and we need your help! 

Our mission is to not only raise the most money but also to bring attention to blood cancers, which are 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 as often as you'd like and invite friends who would like to donate as well by clicking "tell your friends" on the top right corner of this website!

On behalf of blood cancer patients everywhere, thank you for your support, and for helping up clean up cancer's mess!
