National Capital Area Students of the Year

London Hall | MLJ Paving The Way

Welcome to London Hall's SOY Fundraising Page!

Jan 16, 2018

Hi, and thank you for visiting my page! My name is London Hall and I am a junior at the Academy of the Holy Cross. I am so happy to be apart of this fundraising campaign to raise money and awareness for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. I first heard about this wonderful opportunity at my school, when former Student of the Year Candidates talked about their seven week campaigning journey, and how much they learned and the happiness they got from doing it. Hearing them talk about their experience encouraged me to want to do the same because I knew that I could learn from it too. I haven’t had anyone close to me in my life be impacted by blood cancer specifically, but to me that doesn’t matter. I want to support families that have, and do what I can to help make their tough journeys better for them. I believe I am hard-working and I am committed to putting my time and effort into this fundraiser to help “LLS” accomplish many more amazing things!

 

Welcome To My Fundraising Page.

I am honored to have been accepted as a candidate in the 2018 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 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 who raises the most money at the end of the seven weeks is named Student of the Year. My 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 I thank you for your support!
