I have signed up to save lives with the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) and am working to raise as much as possible over the next 7 weeks. Every dollar raised counts as one vote for my campaign. The candidate(s) whose team tallies the most votes earns the prestigious title of Student or Students of the Year. Will you help me earn that title?
 
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.

 My nana was diagnosed with lymphoma only about a month ago and when this opportunity was presented to me I was eager to take it. I live very far away from her and want to do what I can to ensure she will be okay for the foreseeable future. Many other families are exeriencing similar and differing hardships dealing with disease and need our help to ensure treatment for their loved ones. 

 I believe that people diagnosed with blood cancer deserve the opportunity of a full life just as much as anyone else, as well as their families. I believe that the research going into these diagnoses is extremely important and should be helped along as much as possible and I want to know that I am doing my part to help as much as I can.
 

We really are getting close to our goal of a world without blood cancers!
