Hi! My name is Carden Royster and I am a junior at the National Cathedral School. I am so excited to be a team member of Team Close Cares and participate in the 2022 Students of the Year Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Whether you know me as a friend, a family member, or through my parents (Tanisha Carden and Scott Royster), I would greatly appreaciate your support as we raise money to fight blood cancer.  Thank you for visiting my fundraising page!

I am working to raise as much as possible over the next 7 weeks and every dollar raised counts as one vote for my campaign. 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!
 
On behalf of blood cancer patients everywhere, thank you for your support! For more information about LLS, please visit www.lls.org
