Hi! My name is Mackenzie Sanschagrin. I am representing my school, Notre Dame Preparatory School, in this year's SOY Campaign. I started my journey with this campaign last year. During last year's campaign. I raised over $20,000 and was awared the "Relentless for a Cure" Team Member Award. Last year's campaign change my life and the lives of many patients. It showed me how, at any age, people can make a HUGE impact in the world.

This year, I have many "Whys". I want to raise money in honor of Lara Hough. Lara was a 13-year-old student at Notre Dame Preparatory School. Lara was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukimia in January 2019. Lara was graceful, funny, and poised. Lara sadly lost her fight to cancer on May 6th, 2020. I want to make sure nobody that young ever has to go through something like that ever again. I want to motivate young students, like myself, and show them that you are never too young to chnage the world. During my campaigns, there are two quotes I stand by. The first is "Its the things we do now, that impact our future the most". The second saying is "When you die you are remebered for two things, (1.) Who you were and (2.) What you contriubuted to the world." So, lets change the world together! 

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!

Lets change the world!
