Students of the Year Wichita
Landon Sauerwein | MAVS
Welcome to Landon Sauerwein's SOY Fundraising Page!
I am honored to participate as a team member for 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. I am proud to support my candidate and am raising critical dollars in honor of a young patient hero who is currently battling or is in remission from a blood cancer. Each dollar is a vote. The candidate team that raises the most money at the end of the seven weeks is named Student of the Year. Our mission is to not only raise the most money but also to bring attention to blood cancers like leukemia, which is the most common form of cancer in children and teens.
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.
When my brother was 3, he was diagnosed with Juvenile Myelomonocytic Leukemia, JMML. It is a rare type of leukemia that affects young children, generally under the age of 4. JMML accounts for 1-2% of childhood leukemias each year. In the United States there are an estimated 1-2 cases per million children. The only treatment option is a bone marrow transplant. It was one of the hardest times for me. I was only a 1st grader, my parents spent about half a year in Kansas City with my brother. My grandparents moved in with me and all I knew was that my brother was very sick. I didn’t know if he was coming home. My parents left in a hurry and missed my birthday. I only saw them twice through the time they were gone because my brother was in isolation. I had to go on with my day to day life and act like nothing's wrong. LLS is a big reason that my brother was able to come home. This is why I have decided to give back and get involved with the Student of the Year Campaign. This money can be used to go a long way so families like mine don't have to go through this truly sad situation. Because of the research by LLS, my brother is now a 7-year cancer survivor!
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!
You can also see what fundraising events, restaurant give back nights and other activities my team and I am hosting on our Facebook page. Please share our page with your friends and family.
