Students of the Year Triad
Jane Antonas | Team Cancel Cancer
Welcome to Jane Antonas' SOY Fundraising Page!
Thank you so much for your interest in supporting LLS’s mission to find a cure for blood cancer! Please note, online fundraising gifts made from this point forward will not impact the announcement of the 2020 Triad Students of the Year, but your donation will still greatly impact LLS’s mission.
Why?
For Mark.
LLS is a great foundation that has infinitely advanced the quality of life of cancer patients. This is important to me because I have personally witnessed what an impact a cancer diagnosis has on individuals and their loved ones. When my cousin, Mark, was diagnosed with lymphoma, it sent a shockwave through the family. I will always remember this feeling. However, what will also stick with me is the incredible support network formed by friends and relatives that helped Mark and his immediate family through the diagnosis. Today, Mark is in recovery and doing amazing things in college in Japan! This is why I am raising money for LLS. I encourage you to spread this site with anyone you know who has been affected by cancer because together, we can make a difference and my generation can be the last to lose loved ones to these diseases.
Thank you.
Jane
Welcome to My SOY Fundraising Page!
I am honored to participate as a team member for the 2020 Students of the Year program, a seven-week initiative in which select high school students from around the country participate in a fundraising competition to benefit The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. I am raising critical dollars in honor of Johnny Van Kemp, a young patient hero who is currently battling leukemia. 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.
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!
