Lauren's Students of the Year Fundraiser

Jan 07, 2021

Hello & welcome To my Fundraising Page!

Please join me in supporting The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) by making a donation to my fundraising campaign. Thanks to your support, my efforts, will help fund the therapies and treatments and help save lives today. Every donation counts, no matter how small (or how big ;) ), we really appreciate anything you can contribute!

LLS's continued advancements over the years, are responsible for the blood cancer survival rate doubling and tripling; in some cases, the survival rate has even quadrupled.

And many LLS supported therapies not only help blood cancer patients but are now used to treat patients with rare forms of stomach and skin cancers. They're even being tested in clinical trials for patients with a range of cancers including lung, brain, breast, pancreatic and prostate cancers. LLS funded drugs are now being tested for patients with other non-cancerous diseases like Diabetes, Rheumatoid Arthritis and Multiple Sclerosis.

We really are changing the face of blood cancer!

This campaign is close to my heart because my cousin, Courtney, was diagnosed with T-Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia when she was just 4 and 1/2 years old. Very shortly after she started treatment her liver failed and her organs began to follow, so she had to be put into a coma. She wasn't expected to survive, but by a miracle, after using an
experimental drug, she woke up and her liver started to heal. It's terrifying to think that I wouldn't have my cousin in my life if cancer had won. I'm participating in Students of the Year for LLS to ensure that no one else has to experience what my cousin went through. This is why this organization, and this campaign, is so close to my heart.

In honor of my cousin, I have set a goal of $12,000 to raise by February 28th. I know it seems like a big goal, but I know I can do it with your help. I really hope you will consider donating to my campaign and sharing my website and story with those you know. Together, we can change the future of cancer, are you on board??

All donations are greatly appreciated and are 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 Web site often and bring friends who would also like to donate!

On behalf of blood cancer patients everywhere I thank you for your support!

Sincerely, and With Love,

Lauren Dahlquist
