Thank you to everyone who has donated so far! I am officially $360 away from reaching my goal. Advancing research for blood cancer treatment quite literally saves lives. Many people have lost their lives due to lack of avaliable treatments. I am taking this fundraising oppurtunity to fight for the people that can no longer fight, and positively benefit those fighting right now. 

Thank you to everyone for your continued support in our mission to save lives. We have two weeks left to make as big an impact as possible. Let's keep it up!

Hi all! 

This year I have the honor to be part of a seven week fundraiser called Student of the Year. The mission of this fundraiser is to help find a cure for Leukemia  and Lymphoma. My amazing friends formed a team with a goal of raising $30,000, all of which goes towards the cure, and invited me to join to fight. I was instantly inspired by the stories of survivors of blood cancers and the success of LLS in finding a cure and funding research. Any donation amount would be greatly appreciated. Over the next 7 weeks we will be hosting events, reaching out to sponsors, and getting our friends and family invovled. 

I can't wait to see what the next 7 weeks holds, and I would love for you to join me on this journey by contributing any amount of money to this cause.

Thanks!

I am 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.

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!
