Students of the Year Triad
McKenzie Landis | Team Cut Out Cancer
Welcome to McKenzie Monet Landis' SOY Fundraising Page!
So excited to finally kick off my campaign with my fabulous team!!! #SOY4LLS #teamcutoutcancer
Welcome to McKenzie Monet Landis Fundraising Page #TeamCutOutCancer
I am honored to participate as a candidate for the 2019 Students of the Year program, a seven-week initiative in which exceptional high school students from around the country participate in a fundraising competition to benefit The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. My team and I are raising critical dollars in honor of a young patient hero who is currently battling or is in remission from a blood cancer. Our personal goal is $35,000 and 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.
I haven’t personally been affected by Leukemia but have seen how this disease can affect people and their families. Both of my parents are nurses and have dedicated more than twenty years to the healthcare industry. They both, at some point in their careers, have cared for cancer patients and have experienced the effect that it has on their lives. Our mission is not only to raise the most money, but to also bring attention to blood cancers like Leukemia and Lymphoma.
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.
We really are changing the face of blood cancer!
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!
On behalf of blood cancer patients everywhere, thank you for your support!

McKenzie, you’re such a beautiful dancer! We wish you the very best of luck with this and all of your future endeavors. My father died from Leukemia when I was only 6 years old. No child should have to experience such loss, no one should. Thank you so much for raising money for such a great cause. Love, Ari and Rachel
