David Gardner | Answer 4 Cancer

Why this is Important to Me

Feb 04, 2022

I have signed up to save lives with the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) Students of the Year Campaign.  I am a member of Team Answer 4 Cancer, supporting my friends and teammates Molly Kroeger and Nicole and Rachel Rickabaugh.  Together we are working to raise as much money as possible over the next 7 weeks in support of the LLS mission. Every dollar raised counts as one vote for our campaign.  The team that tallies the most votes earns the prestigious title of Student or Students of the Year. Will you help my friends earn that title?

As you know, everyone wins when cancer loses. Thanks to your support, my efforts will help fund therapies and treatments that are saving lives. Over the years, support from people like you has been responsible for the blood cancer advancements that have doubled, tripled, and in some cases quadrupled the survival rate for some blood cancers.

Many LLS-supported therapies not only help blood cancer patients but are also now used to treat patients with rare forms of stomach and skin cancers and are in clinical trials for patients with lung, brain, breast, pancreatic and prostate cancers. And LLS-funded drugs like targeted therapies and immunotherapies are now saving thousands of lives every day.

We really are getting close to our goal of a world without blood cancers!

All donations are greatly appreciated and tax-deductible. They'll not only support LLS research, but patient services, advocacy, public and professional education, and community services as well.

Please visit my website often and tell friends who would also like to donate!

On behalf of blood cancer patients everywhere, thank you for your support! For more information about LLS, please visit www.lls.org
