Students of the Year Washington DC
Lila Herndon | Gators Beat Blood Cancer
Lila's SOY fundraising page!!
Dear Friends and Family,
Welcome To My Fundraising Page!
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 for this year's LLS honored hero, Meaghan Kilner, who goes to Stone Ridge School of the Sacred Heart with me and is in remission from lymphoma. 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.
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.
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 consider supporting Gators Beat Blood Cancer for Meaghan and for all the children who are battling this life-threatening disease. The money raised will go directly to support research to improve the quality of life of patients and their families.
Don't stop there! Please visit our website and forward this message to your friends and family who would also like to donate!
For more information about LLS, please visit www.lls.org or email me at lherndon21@stoneridgeschool.org
