Peyton Gordon | Team Close Cares

Welcome to Peyton Gordon's SOY Fundraising Page!

Jan 04, 2018

Hi! My name is Peyton Gordon and I am a member of the Close Cares team entered in the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society Student of the Year Campaign. Please join me in supporting LLS by making a donation to my fundraising campaign. Thanks to your support, LLS will help fund the therapies and treatments and help save lives today. 

My grandmother who is currently fighting breast cancer is the reason I decided to join the Close Cares team. Though LLS' primary focus is blood cancer research, many LLS supported therapies are being tested in clinical trials for patients with a range of cancers including lung, brain, breast, pancreatic and prostate cancers. 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. I know that is is my role, not only as a team member, but as a granddaughter to do whatever I can to support cancer research.

We really are changing the face of 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.

I hope you feel as inspired by the successes of the organization as I do! Please visit my Web site often and bring friends who would also like to donate!

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

    Peyton, I applaud your initiative and I am happy to support it. Congratulations for discovering early in your life what most people only learn much later (or never learn)....in the words of Albert Schweitzer: "The only ones among you who will be really happy are those who will have sought and found how to serve."
