Student Visionaries of the Year Maryland

Morgan's Student Visionaries of the Year Maryland Fundraiser

Feb 02, 2023

Hi, My name is Morgan Baird, and I am a Junior at Notre Dame Preparatory School.  This year, I am working with Team Be the Change to compete in a fundraising competition to benefit the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. 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 Visionaries of the Year. Will you help me earn that title?

I joined this campaign because ending cancer is personal to me.  When I was two, my dad was diagnosed with melanoma.  Luckily the doctors were able to spot it early before it spread to his lymph nodes.  If it had spread, then my dad would have been given only 3-5 years to live.  The thought of not having my dad in my life today is so scary to think about.  I am hoping by raising funds, a cure will be found and we can take this heartache away from other families.  

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.

As a part of our campaign, we are asked to raise funds in a seven-week period.  Our goal, as Team Be The Change, aims to raise $50,000.  In order to achieve our goal we need your help.  Between January 14, 2023 and March 4, 2023, please join me in supporting this great cause, and changing all the lives affected by blood cancer.
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

 

Love,

Morgan
