Welcome to Esam's Fundraising Page!
Hi, my name is Esam Yousuf and I attend Herndon High School. I am honored to participate in the 2019 Students of the Year campaign, in which select high school students from around the country participate in a fundraising competition to benefit The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS). I am fundraising in memory of my beloved Grandmother, who passed away from Leukemia when my mother was only 6 years old. When my Grandfather told me how difficult it was for her to battle Leukemia, I was inspired to help change the lives of people that may experience the same, And this is why I am participating in the Students of the Year campaign.
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. With your generosity and help, we can support advocacy for laws to ensure patients with access to the care and treatments they need.
Please visit our website and bring friends who would also like to donate!
On behalf of blood cancer patients everywhere, thank you for your support!

My son Esam is raising money for the LLS (Leukemia and lymphoma society). I am coming to you all as a personal plea as my own mother (Hosneara Begum) passed away when I was 6 due to Leukemia. Back in those days the medical technology was not as advanced so she suffered a lot. She was sick for 3 yrs. Imagine the pain the whole family went through. Since my father worked for Saudi government she was offered treatment in UK where the doctors tried everything including bone marrow transplant but Allah subhanu wa ta'ala had different plans. Me and my siblings saw her suffer in the hospital bed. My youngest brother was 3 yrs old. I am so proud of my son Esam Yousuf who is raising money for the awareness of this cancer. Please help his endeavor so we see less families affected by this kind of cancer. LLS organization is committed to find a cure and we are going to help them as much as possible. Thank you so much.
