Kendal's Students of the Year Fundraiser
Get to Know Me:
Hi everyone! Welcome again to my fundraising page. My name is Kendal Thomson and I am a part of the team Sailors for the Cure alongside Grace Adkins and Emma Wallace. I am a junior at Mount de Sales Academy in Catonsville, Maryland. I am so excited to be a part of the 2021 LLS Student of the Year Campaign! Although I have not had an extremely personal experience with cancer, cancer has affected the lives of those I love and care about. Every donation to LLS helps support those affected by cancer and brings us one step closer to a cure!
Here are some important things about myself so you can get to know me better:
I have lived in Maryland all of my life and have attended Catholic school for most of my life. I am an only child and live with my mom, dad, and cat Philomena. I enjoy reading, hiking, photography, playing field hockey, and I am trying to learn the bass guitar! I plan to play field hockey in college and double major in Business and Psychology to eventually have a career in human resources where I can help people through their day to day work experience. I also have a goal to travel the world and visit all 50 states and all 7 continents. I aspire to make the world a better place and LLS is just the beginning! I am so excited to be a part of this campaign, and I hope you all find a way to participate as well!

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page, welcome!
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!

Hi Kendall, For 10 years in my nursing career, I was honored to have cared for Leukemia and Lymphoma patients in the ICU. They were always quite sick and strong fighters. I learned the importance of love and caring from those wonderful patients. Thank you for the fundraiser on their behalf!

Hi Kendall, good luck on your fund raising for LLS. Unfortunately, we all know people who have been affected by cancer. The good news is that raising money to fund basic research is an excellent way to develop new therapies to treat patients suffering from lymphoma and leukemia. Keep up the good work, Andy, Georgia, Issy and Jude

Good luck with fundraising, Kendal! This is a great cause. I'm donating in memory of my son's tutor & former school principal who died of leukemia not too long ago. He would have loved to hear about a student like you, doing good in the world.
