HOLY CHILD & GEORGETOWN PREP: TAKING ACTION TO 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. I am proud to be raising critical dollars in honor of my grandmother, Pat Kannapell, who passed away from Myelodysplasia when I was just a baby. The first $50,000 riased will go toward a research grant in honor of Pat. 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.

Team Believe in a Cure is made up of five Holy Child girls and two Georgetown Prep boys. 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 & 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.

I will be updating my progress on this page and I hope you check-in often!

Thank you in advance!

Sincerely, 

Lilly Kannapell
