During this campaign it has opened my eyes to the large number of people who are suffering from blood cancer.  I have been able to understand more in depth how they have personally been affected and the process they went through during their battle.

Being able to meet a ton of people from either volunteering at the hospital and doing this campaign has shown me how strong and compassionate people are. Throughout this campaign I am going to try to spread awarness of blood cancer by trying to get a donation from as many states and foreign countries possible! 

I am so grateful to be able to make an impact in the fight against cancer and I would be very honored if you would join me in the fight by donating to my campaign!

Thank you so much for your interest in supporting LLS’s mission to cure blood cancer, not someday but today! Please note, online fundraising gifts made from this point forward will not impact the announcement of the 2019 Triangle Students of the Year, but your donation will still greatly impact LLS’s mission.

Hi everyone! I am so unbelivably honored to participate in the 2019 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 proud to be raising critical dollars in honor of a young patient hero who is currently battling or is in remission from a blood cancer. Each dollar is a vote. The candidate team that raises the most money at the end of the seven weeks is named Student(s) 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.

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 and join the fight against cancer!!
