If you all are going to be in Purcellville this Sunday, swing by to Monk's BBQ! We are holding an event there from 3:30-7:30 PM. There will be bingo, raffles, live music, and great food! You won't want to miss you!! Thank you to everyone who has been supporting me through this journey. I can't wait to see how this all turns out at the end!

Hello everyone! I just wanted to thank everyone who has taken a moment to look at my page, spread the word, and donated. You all are AWESOME! It is because of you guys that I will hit my goal and take one step closer to finding a cure! I am beyond excited to see where this LLS experience takes me, and what I'll learn. I'm doing this in honor of my mom and best friend Sara Willis. I hope they're proud! Let's keep the money and movement going! Let's get my goal reached!!

Hi everyone! Kick off was a couple of days ago, and I am so excited to get started! I'm feeling very lucky to be a part of such an amazing team as Students of the Year and going on this journey with one of my best friends, Katie Money. Having this opportunity to spread awareness and raise money for cancer in honor of my mom and Sara Willis means so much to me. Thank you for taking the time for checking out my page. I need as much help as I can get to complete my goal before March 2nd. Any little bit helps!

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!
