Hello all!  First off, I'd like to say a massive THANK YOU to all those who have donated and continue to support me in this journey.  This is such an amazing cause and I wouldn't be here without you! With that being said, we are approaching the first stage of our goal!  This is very exciting news!! Please help me reach this first stage and spread the word!!

Wow, everyone!  The campaign has finally begun! My team and I are so happy to be fundraising during these next 7 weeks for such an amazing cause! Thank you so much for your support and I can't wait to see what comes next for us!

Hi!

As you may know by now, my name is Gwen Berger and I'm part of the FANTASTIC team Horton's Heroes!

Currently, I am a junior at Mount de Sales Academy in Catonsville, MD.  

I am part of the Students of the Year campaign to raise awareness and find a cure for blood cancer, along with many other forms of cancer too.  Several of my close family members and friends were diagnosed with ailments such as breast cancer and skin cancer that are researched by LLS.  Additionally, I am a member of a Youth board for Gigi's Playhouse Annapolis, an achievement center for individuals with Down Syndrome. These individuals have weaker immune systems and are far more susceptible to leukemia, lymphoma, and other cancers.  I want to provide a better future for all, including my family members and those in the Down Syndrome community.  Fundraising for research doesn't magically appear, it comes from people just like us.  

With your help, we can support those individuals and their families in this fight and FIND A CURE!

I have signed up to save lives with the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) and am working to raise as much as possible over the next 7 weeks. Every dollar raised counts as one vote for my campaign. The candidate(s) whose team tallies the most votes earns the prestigious title of Student or Students of the Year. Will you help me 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
