Students of the Year Washington DC
Nora Rosario | Bulldogs Bite Cancer
Welcome to Nora Rosario's SOY Fundraising Page!
Hi, My name is Nora Rosario. I am a sophomore at the Bullis School, located in Potomac, Maryland. I am very eager to participate in the Students of the Year campaign! I believe it is incredibly important to partake in making a difference in my community and through this campaign, I will be able to do so. I was inspired to join due to the impact cancer has had on my own life. As I have seen several very close family friends suffer from cancer. I have been inspired by Leukemia and lymphoma society's mission to cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease, and myeloma, and improve the quality of life of patients and their families. From my experiences, I understand how hard on families and friends it is to watch a loved one hurt. I believe every donation can help patients and their families. I feel so fortunate to partake in this campaign and can't wait to make my contribution to beating blood cancer!
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!
