MEET the Red Elephants
The Research
The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society is the largest contributor to blood cancer research in the nation. I am honoring those who have battled blood cancers and raising money that will go directly to LLS in support of its mission to find a cure and improve the quality of life of patients and their families. LLS has invested over $1 billion in research to date. Along with my team, I will work to increase awareness about the impact of blood cancers and the cutting edge treatments that are currently being researched, as well as inspire others to join the fight to find a cure. This campaign provides an opportunity to support the critical work of LLS in fighting these diseases. Having watched my sister Molly, help with this campaign when she was in high school, I wanted to get involved and make a difference. No one deserves to go through what cancer patients and their families go through. I hope to help make a small difference in raising money to help this cause or just spread awareness to those around me.
GO Red Elephants!
Taking on the name of the Holy Cross LLS team from last year! I am so happy and proud to be a part of this cause. We are rasing money for the the research of the Lukemia and Lymphomia Society! With your help we can help to find a cure to cancer! Thank you for visiting my page, all donations are greatly appreciated no matter the amount! Every Dollar counts and is mkaing a difference! Go Red Elephants!
Welcome to Meghan Monahan's SOY 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 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!
