Thank you for visiting my fundraising page, welcome!

I am so grateful for the opportunity to participate in The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s 2022 Students of the Year campaign. I am a team member on Stone Ridge’s Gators Beat Blood Cancer team. This campaign last seven weeks during which high school students from across the country participate in a competition to raise money to support the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society and their mission: to find a cure for leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin’s disease, and myeloma, and to improve the quality of life of patients and their families.

I am participating in this campaign to honor those who have been affected by blood cancer, as well as my father who was diagnosed with lymphoma in 2017. My family has seen first hand what the research that is funded by LLS can do and how far cancer treatment has come in just five years. "LLS helped advance 60 of the 71 blood cancer treatment options approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration since 2017." By donating to my campaign you can help increase that number, saving countless lives.

I encourage you to join me in supporting The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) by making a donation to my fundraising campaign. By donating to LLS, you support the many facets of LLS’s mission work from investing in groundbreaking research, providing education and support to patients, and advocating at the state and federal level for legislation to help those living with cancer. My appreciation for your support cannot be overstated — each and every dollar donated to LLS brings us closer to our goal to end blood cancer and makes an impact for cancer patients and their families.

As a global leader in the fight to end cancer, LLS is committed to doing more for blood cancer patients and families than any organization in the world. LLS’s signature fundraising campaigns drive critical support for its mission, including a nearly $1.3 billion investment in cutting edge cancer research worldwide since it was founded in 1949. Since the 1960s, survival rates for many blood cancer patients have doubled, tripled, or even quadrupled.

Every facet of LLS’s mission – research, education and support, and policy and advocacy – work in harmony to put blood cancer patients and their families first. LLS has helped millions impacted by cancer throughout its more than 70-year history, even funding breakthrough blood cancer research to advance lifesaving treatments and cures that is now helping patients with other cancers and diseases. That is why at LLS we say that beating cancer is in our blood.

Please visit my website as often as you can and share it with everyone you know who would also like to join us in the fight against cancer. Together, we have the power, the passion and the resolve to achieve a world without blood cancer. All donations are tax-deductible.

On behalf of cancer patients and their families everywhere, I sincerely thank you for your support!
