Olivia's Students of the Year Fundraiser
My name is Olivia Dougherty and I am excited to help fight against blood cancer. I am honored to participate in the Students of the Year Fundraiser. By participating in this campaign, I hope that I can help save the lives of many people. I know several people who have been diagnosed with blood cancer. My Grandma's brother (pictured below) and my family friend were diagnosed with multiple myeloma. Thankfully, they are both currently in remission and are living a healthy life. I hope that the money I raise will help researchers discover cures for these blood cancers so that all patients can live cancer free. Thank you for visiting my fundraising page!
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
