Veronica's 2022 Students of the Year Fundraiser
Signing up to save lives!
Support Team Fly4ACure, welcome!
As you know, everyone wins when cancer loses. 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. The candidate(s) whose team raises the most funds, is titled Student or Students of the Year. Thanks to your support, my efforts will help fund therapies and treatments that are saving lives. These funds have quadrupled the survival rate for some blood cancers!
About LLS (lls.org)
Many LLS-supported therapies not only help blood cancer patients but also help 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 are now saving thousands of lives every day.
My Cause, Inspiration and Legacy
My grandfather, my father’s father, lost his battle to lung cancer in 2001, more than 4 years before I was born. I would have loved to meet him and grow up with him, but cancer took that opportunity away. While I cannot change this, I can change this for the future generations! I'm optimistic that I will to be the last generation that sees cancer. I want to ensure that one day, no one will have to go through what he did and no one will lose a loved one to cancer.
Team Fly4ACure is a team that I hold very close to my heart. I was a team member last year, helping the team raise over $91,000 in funds and win the title 2021 Maryland Students of the Year, all benefitting the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. I learned so much about the struggles of cancer and the impact that LLS has on the community. It was an eye-opening experience and I could not have the greater honor to be carrying on this legacy with my co-candidates, Glynis Rossi and Lindsey Magill!
Join the Fight!
I encourage you to support me in this worthy cause. 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 share my story with friends who would also like to donate!
For a Cure,
Veronica Zhou
