Alex Bonham | Team Fight 4 a Cure

Alex's Students of the Year Fundraiser

Jan 23, 2021

Thank you so much for visiting my fundraising page, welcome!

My name is Alexander Bonham and I am a sophomore at The Bullis School in Potomac, MD. This year I was nominated to be a team member and assist my team "Fight 4 a Cure" in achieving our goal of raising $210,000 in order to help fund research for a cure to cancer. My personal goal for these next few weeks is to raise around $5,000 and hopefulyl a lot more so that I can help with finding a cure to this disease. To me, it is important to raise as much money as possible throughout the next 7 weeks because everyone in one way or another has been either directly or indirectly affected by cancer at one point in their life. If you want to make a change and help those fighting Leukemia and Lymphoma, please consider donating to my fundraising page!

I encourage you to join me in supporting The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) by making a donation to my fundraising campaign. By donating to LLS, you support the many facets of LLS’s mission work from investing in groundbreaking research, providing education and support to patients, and advocating at the state and federal level for legislation to help those living with cancer. My appreciation for your support cannot be overstated — each and every dollar donated to LLS brings us closer to our goal to end blood cancer and makes an impact for cancer patients and their families.

This year I decided to participate in the LLS campaign in honor of my great Grandfather who I often hear so much about, and how Leukemia took him away from me before I was ever able to meet him. I am participating in this fight against cancer to make sure that people will get to see their loved ones throughout their lives and so that people's times with one another won't be cut short when there could be a solution.

As a global leader in the fight to end cancer, LLS is committed to doing more for blood cancer patients and families than any organization in the world. LLS’s signature fundraising campaigns drive critical support for its mission, including a nearly $1.3 billion investment in cutting edge cancer research worldwide since it was founded in 1949. Since the 1960s, survival rates for many blood cancer patients have doubled, tripled, or even quadrupled.

Every facet of LLS’s mission – research, education and support, and policy and advocacy – work in harmony to put blood cancer patients and their families first. LLS has helped millions impacted by cancer throughout its more than 70-year history, even funding breakthrough blood cancer research to advance lifesaving treatments and cures that is now helping patients with other cancers and diseases. That is why at LLS we say that beating cancer is in our blood.

Please visit my website as often as you can and share it with everyone you know who would also like to join us in the fight against cancer. Together, we have the power, the passion, and the resolve to achieve a world without blood cancer. All donations are tax-deductible.

On behalf of cancer patients and their families everywhere, I sincerely thank you for your support!

With Much Love,

Alexander Bonham
