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 through THIS webpage made from this point forward will not impact the announcement of the 2018 Triangle Students of the Year, but your donation will still greatly impact LLS’s mission. To vote for me by making a donation, please visit https://ncsoy18.auction-bid.org and 'pledge' for me under my name. Voting will end when silent auction closes on Saturday, March 10, 2018.

We are honored to have been accepted as candidates in the 2018 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 two young patient heroes who are currently battling or are in remission from a blood cancer. The candidate team who raises the most money at the end of the seven weeks is named Student(s) of the Year. But, even removing the competitive nature of the Student of the Year series, our mission is to raise money for the research and support of the efforts of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.

The both of us have witnessed firsthand the hardships cancer can bring, but it is important to us that we can help fundraise for an organization monumental in the fight against cancer. 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! Your donation will go towards both current and future patients who will be or have been touched by the actions of LLS.

We remind you that donations of any size 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, as well as support advocacy for laws to ensure patients can access the care and treatments they need.

Please share this page with friends and family to further support our efforts in the weeks to come and check back for updates on our progress or to make a further donation .

 On behalf of blood cancer patients everywhere the Kindness Krew thanks YOU!!
