Welcome to my fundraising page for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society's Student of the Year Program! I would like to thank all of you for taking the time to check out this page and learn more about this amazing program.

Just a friendly reminder that no donation is too small! Donations are crucial in helping the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society's goal of curing leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease, and myeloma, and improving the quality of life of patients and their families and every donation is greatly appreciated. If you aren't able to donate at this time you can still help the cause! Please spread the news to anyone who might be interested by sharing the link to this page or contacting me at maureenmarron5@gmail.com!

Your help is greatly appreciated,

Maureen Marron

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!
