Thank you so much for supporting my Students of the Year Campaign! 

This mission is important to me personally because my mom, Sydney, was diagnosed with brain cancer when I was two years old. Unfortunately, after a courageous three year battle, she died in 2011, just a few days after my first day of kindergarten. I feel that LLS is giving me an amazing opportunity to fight back against a disease that has taken not only from me, but so many people all over the world. I want to use this opportunity to save lives in my courageous mom’s name which is why my team is named “Sydney’s Soldiers.”

My Fundraising Goal: $100,000

I have signed up to save lives with the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) and am working to raise as much as possible over the next 7 weeks. Every dollar raised counts as one vote for my campaign. The candidate(s) whose team tallies the most votes earns the prestigious title of Student or Students of the Year. Will you help me earn that title?
 
As you know, everyone wins when cancer loses. Thanks to your support, my efforts will help fund therapies and treatments that are saving lives. Over the years, support from people like you has been responsible for the blood cancer advancements that have doubled, tripled, and in some cases quadrupled the survival rate for some blood cancers.
 
Many LLS-supported therapies not only help blood cancer patients but are also now used to treat patients with rare forms of stomach and skin cancers and are in clinical trials for patients with lung, brain, breast, pancreatic and prostate cancers. And LLS-funded drugs like targeted therapies and immunotherapies are now saving thousands of lives every day.
 
We really are getting close to our goal of a world without blood cancers!
 
All donations are greatly appreciated and tax-deductible. They'll not only support LLS research, but patient services, advocacy, public and professional education, and community services as well.
