Thank you for visiting my fundraising page, welcome!

Hello, I am Daisy Bishop, a Sophomore at Connelly School of the Holy Child. I was lucky enough to be able to participate in the 2021 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 ("LLS"). Last year, my sister Libby Bishop was a co-candidate for LLS. After watching my sister and the rest of the team fight for a cure, I was so eager to fight and this year I have a chance. 

Losing family members or loved ones to a horrible disease truly affects a person. As I have lost many family members to cancer and other terrible diseases. My grandfather was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease before I was even born. As I got older, he got worse. Sadly, last year he passed away. I was absolutely heartbroken because I lost my beloved grandfather. He was one of the best people I have ever met. Although it wasn't cancer it gives me some perspective on what families have to go through when their loved one is sick. Knowing now that I have a chance to fight for a cure for Blood Cancer, makes me so happy. Because if we do find a cure, it will save so many people. We have a chance to find a cure and save millions of people. This is such a great opportunity and I am so glad I am apart of it. 

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!
