Georgia Little | Team Impact
Georgia's Students of the Year Fundraiser
Hi! My name is Georgia Little and I am a junior at Notre Dame Preparatory School. I have signed up to save lives with the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) with Team Impact. I am working to raise as much as possible over the next 7 weeks, and 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?
I join this fight for several reasons, and one is to raise money for Lara Hough. Lara was a 13-year-old and fellow classmate of mine at NDP. She was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia in January 2019 and sadly lost her fight to cancer on May 6th, 2020. Although Lara was a couple of years younger than me, she was well known to be a bright light to everyone around her. No one deserves to go through what Lara did, and if I can have a small role in bringing awareness and support around the fight against blood cancer, I’m going to all I can to meet my goal.
As a part of our campaign, we are asked to raise funds in a seven-week period. Our goal, as Team Impact, aims to raise $100,000. In order to achieve our goal we need your help. Between February 5, 2022, and March 26, 2022, please join me in supporting this great cause, and changing all the lives affected by blood cancer.
Your donations are sincerely appreciated and tax-deductible. They'll not only support LLS research, but patient services, advocacy, public and professional education, and community services as well.
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!
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, and feel free to visit www.lls.org for more information. 😊
Sincerely,
Georgia Little
