Welcome to Clare Lewis' SOY Fundraising Page!

Welcome To My Fundraising Page.

 

Please join me in supporting The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) by making a donation to my fundraising campaign.

 

I am competing in a seven week fundraising campaign against 31 other teams of high school students from the DC area. My team’s goal is to raise enough money to receive a research grant toward finding a cure for blood cancers. Thanks to your support, my efforts will help fund therapies and treatments and help save lives today.

 

For more than 66 years, LLS has put more than $1 Billion into funding cancer research. The unfortunate truth is that despite these efforts, roughly 1.2 million people in the U.S. are living with, or are in remission from, a blood cancer. Blood cancers can not be prevented or screened for. This is why I need your help to find a cure.

 

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.

 

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. So your contributions can help not only those suffering from blood cancers but many other diseases as well.

 

We really are changing the face of blood cancer!

 

All donations are greatly appreciated and are tax deductible. They'll not only support LLS research but patient services, advocacy, public and professional education, and community services as well.

 

Please visit my website often and bring friends who would also like to donate!

 

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

Thank you so much for your support to help me create a world without cancer!
