Thank you for visiting my fundraising page, I am very excited to have you here! My name is William Staats and I am a sophmore at Chapel Hill High School. I am raising money for LLS because cancer is something that effects nearly everyone in the world, and I would like to participate in the fight against cancer and help those who are suffering from it. Curing cancer is something that is well within humanity´s reach, and everyone is able to join that fight by donating money or time to help researchers find the cure for cancer. The technology is starting to catch up to what is needed to cure cancer, but what researchers really need is money to fund their discoveries.

I encourage you to join me in supporting The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) by making a donation to my fundraising campaign. By donating to LLS, you support the many facets of LLS’s mission work from investing in groundbreaking research, providing education and support to patients, and advocating at the state and federal level for legislation to help those living with cancer. My appreciation for your support cannot be overstated — each and every dollar donated to LLS brings us closer to our goal to end blood cancer and makes an impact for cancer patients and their families.

As a global leader in the fight to end cancer, LLS is committed to doing more for blood cancer patients and families than any organization in the world. LLS’s signature fundraising campaigns drive critical support for its mission, including a nearly $1.3 billion investment in cutting edge cancer research worldwide since it was founded in 1949. Since the 1960s, survival rates for many blood cancer patients have doubled, tripled, or even quadrupled.

Every facet of LLS’s mission – research, education and support, and policy and advocacy – work in harmony to put blood cancer patients and their families first. LLS has helped millions impacted by cancer throughout its more than 70-year history, even funding breakthrough blood cancer research to advance lifesaving treatments and cures that is now helping patients with other cancers and diseases. That is why at LLS we say that beating cancer is in our blood.

I would be honored if you chose to donate to my fundraising effort and share this with everyone who would like to join me in the fight against cancer. Together, we have the power, the passion and the resolve to achieve a world without blood cancer. An added bonus, all donations are tax-deductible.

On behalf of cancer patients and their families everywhere, I sincerely thank you for your support!
