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?
 

Many of you may remember hearing about the LLS campaign when my older sister Annie Myers participated with The Red Elephant team in 2018. I feel both inspired and obligated to partake in this campaign because cancer has affected me personally. In 2015 my mom was diagnosed with stage three breast cancer. Over the course of that year, I was forced to watch my mom undergo all sorts of treatments and surgeries. As a 9 year old, I struggled with what I could do to help her. My family had to sit back while cancer ran its course, trusting that she would get through it. Thankfully my mom was strong and was able to beat cancer. Today, I can finally say that I am working hard to take a stand against cancer. I have found a way to make a difference by fundraising for the research that can help those who have cancer, and can give a sense of ease and comfort to all those families that have to watch their loved ones go through this terrible time. Everyone has been affected by cancer in one way or another, and I think it is time that we work together to put it to rest. 

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!
