Kylie's Students of the Year Fundraiser
My name is Kylie Weems and I am a junior at Easton High School in Easton, Maryland. This year I am participating in the LLS Student of the Year campaign as a team member in order to make a difference in the world and help others that are unable to help themselves. Although I have not experienced Leukemia or Lymphoma directly in my life, I have had family members that have suffered through cancer. Both of my grandmothers had skin cancer and my grandfather has throat cancer. They were all able to fight through the cancer and by joining this team I am helping others achieve that same goal.
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?
The more money raised for my campaign is more money raised for LLS as a whole and 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
