I'm honored to announce the reason I am taking part in LLS Studnets of the year is because I was inspired by my 5th grade teacher, Patty Quinn, who unfortunately passed away due to a harsh form of liver cancer after I had graduated from the St. Raphael School. Though it is not a type of blood cancer, it still is my inspiration because I envision that the future will one day find a cure to save all types of cancer patients. We can not accomplish that without taking action for this cause. I am inspired to participate in the LLS campaign, because I will finally feel like I am being part of the change toward fighting for all cancer patients around the world.

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page, welcome!

My name is Caleigh Rose, and I am a junior at The Academy of the Holy Cross. I was excited that I was asked to participate in The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society's 2021 Student of the Year (SOY) campaign alongside my team The Red Elephants.

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  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!
