Amelia`s Allies

Welcome to my 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 on a team along with 9 other Robinson Secondary School students all committed to this cause! Our team, Amelia`s Allies, is raising critical dollars in honor of a young patient hero who is currently in remission from 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 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.

From the first time I heard about this campaign, I knew I wanted to get involved. I know so many people who are affected by all forms ofcancer and I know the heart-breaking effects it has on their lives. This organization is doing so many great things for so many people and I am so happy to now be a part of that. Thank you for supporting such an amazing cause!

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.

Make sure to keep checking in on our website for updates throughout the next seven weeks!! Don't hesitate to bring friends who would also like to donate!

On behalf of blood cancer patients everywhere, thank you for your support!
