So I've done a thing and joined the fight agains cancer.  But why?  Why would a high school sophomore take this on?  Cancer is BIG and I'm just a kid - right?  What difference can I make?  

Well...above is my why!

1.  It's personal!  I know first hand how it feel to loose a loved one to cancer.  My grendfater "Pop" lost his battle within two weeks of his diagnosis.  #CancerSUCKS  

2.  I have been offered this amazing opportunity to be part of something that's bigger than myself and make a difference all while gaining valuable real life skills like recruiting, time/team mamagement, interviewing, etc..

3.  My brother, Morgan Bragg, was a Student of the Year candidate in 2020 and part of Coyotes for a Cure 2.0 team.  I'm commited to continuing the legacy team Coyotes for a Cure has build in our community with our 3.0 team.  I also, look forward to crushing the money my brother's team raised!  #SiblingCompetition4GoodCause

I have decided to partner with siblings, Ellie & Peter Tsahalis to maximize our impact on the fight agains cancer.  All of us are Clarksburg High School students whose lives have directly been impacted by loosing our beloved grandfathers to this horrible disease.  Together we will strategize on pulling our resources together to build an effective team that will help us maximize our impact. 

Additionally, I'm personally very excited to continue the Coyotes for a Cure legacy started by the two previous team, including my brother's team in 2020.

Please stay tunned as I share some behind the scenes moments form our journey as we recruit & build our team.  

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? Please!
 
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 100% 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!
