Hi!

 

How often does a 15 year old sophomore have the opportunity and platform to do something that can affect the well-being of countless others in their community and country?  I am lucky enough to say that I have been given that chance!

 

I am excited to share with you that I am a candidate in the 2022 Students of the Year Campaign by the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society!  The Students of the Year Campaign is a 7 week fundraising event in which high school students from around the country compete to raise as much money as possible. All of the money raised will help the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (LLS) fund new cancer research and provide resources to blood cancer patients and their families.   

 

The opportunity to help raise funds for a cure for cancer is incredibly important to me because my great grandmother died of lymphoma before I was born and both of my grandmothers have had their own battles with various cancers.  They have been my inspiration to work on this project!  

 

I feel incredibly fortunate to be part of the Students of the Year Program because it not only supports the fundraising efforts of LLS, but it is also a great leadership experience for a high school student like me.  During the past 6 months, I have had the privilege of meeting with business leaders from around Eastern North Carolina who have generously donated their time and resources.  Their words of encouragement and lessons in leadership will be one of the highlights of this campaign for me.

 

I look forward to sharing the exciting updates of my campaign during the next seven weeks with you.  Stay tuned to see what our team can accomplish!

 

Thank you for your support,

 

Hunter Nelson

2022 Students of the Year Campaign Candidate
