Welcome To My Fundraising Page!

I am honored to have been selected and be participating in The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s (LLS) 2020 Students of the Year (SOY) campaign, a seven-week initiative in which high school students from around the country are nominated to participate in a fundraising competition to benefit LLS’s mission: to find a cure for leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin’s disease and myeloma, and to improve the quality of life of patients and their families.

I am using this incredible opportunity to raise funds in honor of my family friend, Elaine Brown, who was diagnosed with lymphoma and sadly passed away four days later. I am also raising funds for everyone battling or in remission from a blood cancer. My Wootton High School friends Jolie, Skylar and I have created an amazing team “Patriots for a Purpose” because we want to help find a cure and fight this horrific disease. Our mission is to raise meaningful donations and bring attention to blood cancers like leukemia, which is the most common form of cancer in children and teens. Every dollar we raise will make a difference in this important effort. 

Please join me and my dedicated team in supporting The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) by making a donation to my fundraising campaign using the link above. I need lots of support to reach our fundraising goal and would appreciate you passing along this link to any family, friends, neighbors and colleagues that would like to support our effort. Your donations help to make a real impact in the lives of cancer patients and their families.

We are changing the face of blood cancer! Will you join us?!

Because of campaigns like Students of the Year, LLS has seen tremendous success discovering new and more effective treatments for blood cancer patients and has created a new exciting initiative focusing on treatments for pediatric patients.

• LLS funded 43 of the 49 FDA approved treatments for blood cancer patients since 2017
• Since 2000, more than 40% of the new cancer therapies approved by the FDA started as blood cancer research
• In 2019, LLS established The LLS Children’s Initiative, a comprehensive $50 MILLION multi-year endeavor, to help children with cancer through every facet of LLS’s mission:
  • More than doubling our investment in pediatric cancer research grants
  • Expanding education and support service for children and their families
  • Advocating for and driving policies to accelerate the development of new treatments and break down barriers to care
  • Launching LLS PedAL (Pediatric Acute Leukemia), a groundbreaking global precision medicine clinical trial in acute pediatric leukemia

And many LLS supported therapies not only help blood cancer patients but are now used to treat patients with rare forms of stomach and skin cancers. They're even being tested in clinical trials for patients with a range of cancers including lung, brain, breast, pancreatic and prostate cancers. LLS funded drugs are now being tested for patients with other non-cancerous diseases like Diabetes, Rheumatoid Arthritis and Multiple Sclerosis.

I truly hope you will join me and my dedicated teammates in supporting my campaign and LLS by making a donation above. Thanks to your support, our efforts will help fund the therapies and treatments and help save lives today.

LLS's continued advancements over the years, are responsible for the blood cancer survival rate doubling and tripling; in some cases, the survival rate has even quadrupled.

All donations are greatly appreciated and are tax deductible. With your donation, you’re not only supporting LLS research but patient services, advocacy, public and professional education, and community services as well. Together WE CAN FIND A CURE!

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