HOLY CHILD: TAKING ACTION TO HELP END ALL CANCERS!

Welcome to my fundraising page!!

As a junior at Holy Child, 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. Each dollar donated in this campaign is a vote. The team that raises the most money at the end of the seven weeks is named Student(s) of the Year.

Team BELIEVE in a Cure, made up of five Holy Child girls and two Georgetown Prep boys, is raising critical dollars in honor of all of those who have fought and are currently fighting cancer. 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. We are determined to raise $50,000 for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society and we believe we can do it with your help! 

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! With your help!!

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 my website often and bring friends who would also like to donate!

On behalf of blood cancer patients everywhere, thank you for your support!
