Welcome to my fundraising page for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society! I'm Nathan Chen and I'm a sophomore at Bullis School in Maryland. 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. My personal goal is to raise $5000 for LLS. 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. YOU can help me earn that title!

I am fundraising in memory of my grandmother, who passed away from cancer before I was born. My parents often tell me stories about her, and I wish I could have gotten to know her myself. I truly hope my generation will be the one to see a world without cancer, where we have more time to cherish our loved ones. The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society's work is essential to making that a reality. LLS has helped advance more than 85% of FDA-approved blood cancer treatments since 2017. I hope you join me in my journey to help find a cure, to help those in pain, and to take back the time we deserve to love and cherish.

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 such as 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! Feel free to reach out to me directly at nathan_chen@bullis.org for any questions.
