Thank you for visiting my fundraising page, welcome!

My name is Abby Dix and I am a sophomore at Ravenscroft School. This is my second year participating in the Students of the Year Program and I am so excited! I will be participating in honor of my Dad. In August of 2019 he was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL). After two rounds of chemo, the cancer was still present. He went on to receive a treatment called Blinatumomab. LLS is critical in funding research for new medicines, such as Blinatumomab. My dad was in remission by November 2019 which allowed him to receive a stem cell transplant in December of 2019. Since 2019, all tests have been coming back negative. 

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