Riley's Students of the Year Fundraiser
Feb 05, 2022
Hi I'm Riley Burns and I am a part of Team Rebels for a Cure and we are participating in the Leukemia Lymphoma Society (LLS) student of the year campaign. This campaign is about high school students raising money for people fighting cancer.
My motivation for joining Team Rebels for a Cure is because of my brave grandfather, Jim Burns. He battled Lymphoma for 12 years, and I feel honored to be able to raise money for people going through what my grandfather went through. Sadly, my grandfather passed away on November 29, 2021. I encourage you to join me in supporting The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) by making a donation to my fundraising campaign.
By donating to LLS, you support the many facets of LLS’s mission work from investing in groundbreaking research, providing education and support to patients, and advocating at the state and federal level for legislation to help those living with cancer. My appreciation for your support cannot be overstated — each and every dollar donated to LLS brings us closer to our goal to end blood cancer and makes an impact for cancer patients and their families.
The official campaign opens up in February and your generous donations will be transferred to my official Leukemia and Lymphoma Society website. Thank you for your support!
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
