Carina's Students of the Year Fundraiser

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page, welcome! :)

Right now as a society, we are all experiencing a lot of change, but even though our daily lives and priorities have experienced disruption because of this pandemic, one thing that shouldn’t change for us is our commitment to lifting others up in our community, especially those who are fighting the battle of cancer. There are thousands of blood cancer patients living with their diagnosis in the United States alone. The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, which has invested nearly $1.3 billion in cancer research since it started in 1949, funds leading-edge research for every type of blood cancer, including leukemia, lymphoma, myeloma, and other rare types of blood cancers, and has helped advance a large number of the blood cancer treatment options approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. And this cutting-edge blood cancer research has led to breakthroughs in immunotherapy, genomics and personalized medicine that are improving and saving the lives of patients.

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.

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!
