Thank you for visiting my fundraising page, welcome!
I encourage you to join me in supporting The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) by making a donation to my fundraising campaign. By donating to LLS, you support the many facets of LLS’s mission work from investing in groundbreaking research, providing education and support to patients, and advocating at the state and federal level for legislation to help those living with cancer. My appreciation for your support cannot be overstated — each and every dollar donated to LLS brings us closer to our goal to end blood cancer and makes an impact for cancer patients and their families.
As a global leader in the fight to end cancer, LLS is committed to doing more for blood cancer patients and families than any organization in the world. LLS’s signature fundraising campaigns drive critical support for its mission, including a nearly $1.3 billion investment in cutting edge cancer research worldwide since it was founded in 1949. Since the 1960s, survival rates for many blood cancer patients have doubled, tripled, or even quadrupled.
Every facet of LLS’s mission – research, education and support, and policy and advocacy – work in harmony to put blood cancer patients and their families first. LLS has helped millions impacted by cancer throughout its more than 70-year history, even funding breakthrough blood cancer research to advance lifesaving treatments and cures that is now helping patients with other cancers and diseases. That is why at LLS we say that beating cancer is in our blood.
In 2018, Jake was diagnosed with Lymphoma and it hit his family hard. Jake lost his biological mom to Blood Cancer and finding out he also had it was heartbreaking. Jake was in and out of the hospital for months. His brother, Ben, was upset about having his twin brother in the hospital all the time. We want to help other kids going through the same thing Jake did.
On behalf of cancer patients and their families everywhere, I sincerely thank you for your support!

Ellen passed away this past year, right before Thanksgiving. She is a former music teacher at Elm Creek Elementary and very active in many musical organizations. Ellen was diagnosed Amyloidosis, a very rare blood disease or cancer. She didn't last long after diagnosis but long enough to enjoy her family inspite of Covid 19.

Good luck, Lexi! I'm so impressed with your empathetic heart and amazing drive to do great things. You will make a big impact on this world, I'm sure of it. I am donating in honor of my Dad, who was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer on Oct 3, 2012 and died on Oct 23, 2012. I miss him every day.
