Arav Bhargava | Team Rally 2 Raise 4 a Cure
Arav's Students of the Year Fundraiser
Several years ago, my grandfather was diagnosed with Stage 4 Lymphoma. His prognosis was dire, and we watched helplessly as he suffered for months in the hospital, uncertain of what was going to happen. Each day for him was difficult. However, thankfully, due to the investment from organizations such as LLS in innovative treatments, the doctors were able to propose a cutting edge approach involving stem cell treatments and other therapies that were miraculously effective. He visited us this Thanksgiving, and I was so thankful that these treatments have given me, my siblings, and my parents so much more time with him.
As you know, everyone wins when cancer loses. Thanks to your support, my efforts will help fund therapies and treatments that are saving lives. Over the years, support from people like you has been responsible for the blood cancer advancements that have doubled, tripled, and in some cases quadrupled the survival rate for some blood cancers.
Many LLS-supported therapies not only help blood cancer patients but are also now used to treat patients with rare forms of stomach and skin cancers and are in clinical trials for patients with lung, brain, breast, pancreatic and prostate cancers. And LLS-funded drugs like targeted therapies and immunotherapies are now saving thousands of lives every day.
All donations are greatly appreciated and tax-deductible. They'll not only support LLS research, but patient services, advocacy, public and professional education, and community services as well.
Please visit my website often and tell friends who would also like to donate.
On behalf of blood cancer patients everywhere, thank you for your support! For more information about LLS, please visit www.lls.org
