I am honored to participate as a team member for the 2020 Students of the Year program. The Student of the year program is a leadership opportunity for high school students to compete to raise money for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) in a span of seven weeks. The candidate team that raises the most money at the end of the seven weeks is named Student of the Year.  I am proud to be a 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. Leukemia is the most common form of cancer in children and teens. This sad statistic made me want to help out, which is why I got involved with LLS. Kids my age are having to spend all their time in hospitals, and can't do the normal activities that other children and teens are doing. Every dollar matters. Your donation will help the lives of many patients. 

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.

Thank you so much!
