Jack Murphy | Team Raise Hope Together
Jack's Students of the Year Fundraiser
When Jack S and Theo W asked me to join their team as a team member to help raise money to fight cancer, I knew that I wanted to join. Cancer affects almost everyone in some way, and my family is no different. My great grandfather and cousin (pictured below) both had leukemia, and both experiences were very hard for my family. The work that LLS does leads to major developments in cancer research, which can help to save many lives in the future. Thankfully, my cousin is a surviror due to all of the great work that organizations like LLS have done to help cancer research. Although LLS specializes in fighting blood cancers, all cancer treatments come from developments in fighting blood cancers. This has been a great experience and we would appreciate your support.
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!
On behalf of blood cancer patients everywhere, thank you for your support! For more information about LLS, please visit www.lls.org
