Hello, my name is Ryan Nguyen and I'm a junior attending Woodson High school. This year I'm taking part in the SOY (Student of the Year) campaign for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. By participating in this campaign I know that the Cavs 4 Cures Team will be able to impact those that are diagnosed with blood cancer.

One of my soccer teammates Ben, unfortunately got diagnosed with blood cancer and wasn't able to play this season. Ben was diagnosed with blood cancer at a very young age and he didn't know he had blood cancer until 2019. Another connection to Leukemia is Hunter which is Ryan Youngblood's cousin. He got diagnosed with Leukemia when he was 11. Fortunately he was able to beat cancer and told our team about how cancer affect his life.

It's frightening to me that there are people that I know who were diagnosed with Leukemia. SOY is a good oppurtunity for me to help fight back for others that where diagnosed with Leukemia. The main job of  LLS is to help spread information about what Leukemia is and to raise money towards the research for blood cancer.  LLS was able to raise around 1.3 billion dollars for research and has raised a lot more awareness towards blood cancer. If you also want to get rid of blood cancer don't be scared to donate  to LLS. Thank you for your support for the fight against cancer.

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page, welcome!

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.
