Sierra Sewchand | BAN Blood Cancer

Sierra's Students of the Year Fundraiser

Feb 03, 2022

Hello! My name is Sierra Sewchand and I am a junior at Mt. Hebron High School in Ellicott City, MD.  I'm so excited to be working on this amazing project to raise awarness and donations to beat cancer! 

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

    Strong and important work, Sierra. This donation is from Yun and me; we decided to split it. Yun says hi, btw, and that she's impressed. So am I. Congratulations on being part of the Students of the Year Maryland campaign, and thanks for standing behind this cause. Thanks, too, for the well-written email. We can't wait to see all that you'll achieve in the years ahead.

    Growing up, Anne was my best friend. Her death deprived the world of a truly great mind and wonderful, funny person. She will always be remembered by those who knew her, and I will always support this cause. Today, we are so much closer to a cure, but I hope someday we will have gone past a cure to prevention. And I want to see it in my lifetime.
