Students of the Year Detroit
Kelin Flynn | FDA Approved
Welcome to Kelin Flynn's SOY Fundraising Page!
I am honored to participate in the 2020 Students of the Year program, a seven-week initiative in which select high school students from around the country participate in a fundraising competition to benefit The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. A few years ago my healthy, fit and very active grandpa lost his fight with melanoma. His type of cancer manifested in the muscles of his body and was spreading. The first drug treatment worked extremely well, offering 9 months of high quality life. But soon he got sick, possibly from the treatment, and the second drug trial did not stop the cancer from spreading and made him feel very sick. When I was made aware of LLS I knew I wanted to help someone else with their fight if I could. Leukemia and Lymphoma Society funds research that helps many types of cancers as information is shared and research is applied to a variety of cancer treatments. We all know of someone close to us that has or is fighting cancer. Young and old, no matter how healthy we are, we too are at risk. Please consider a donation to our fight against cancer; it would be much appreciated and your money well spent to find treatments and hopefully a cure.
More Information About LLS
Since the early 1960s, five-year survival rates for many blood cancer patients have doubled, tripled or even quadrupled. And many LLS supported therapies not only help blood cancer patients but are helping patients with other cancers and serious diseases. In fact, drugs first approved for blood cancers are now approved to treat patients with stomach cancers, skin cancers, and autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis.
All donations are greatly appreciated and are tax-deductible. They'll not only support LLS-funded research but will help provide critical information and support for patients, and support advocacy for laws to ensure patients can access the care and treatments they need.
Please visit our website often and bring friends who would also like to donate!

Thank you for your support!
