Dear Family and Friends, 

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. 
 
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.
 
I am helping in the fight against blood cancer because cancer has touched my life personally.  I have lost my grandmother and uncle to cancer and my grandfather battled pancreatic cancer many years ago.  Now, many LLS-supported therapies not only help blood cancer patients but are also 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.  

Please visit my website often and tell friends who would also like to donate.  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.
 
We really are getting close to our goal of a world without blood cancers!  Thank you for your support.
