Hello! Welcome to my fundraising page! My name is Shea Yeager and I am a junior at Georgetown Visitation. I have joined Team CUREsaders to save lives with the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS). We are working to raise as much money and awareness as possible over the next 7 weeks to further the fight against cancer.

   I, like most people, have unfortunately witnessed the devastations cancer can bring to the people we love. My grandfather passed away due to his diagnosis of cancer when I was very young. Although I did not get to know him as well as I wish I could have, I have continued to see how much the death of such an amazing man has impacted my family. I have joined this incredible campaign not only for my family, but to ensure that others do not have to face the same losses. Everyone can be affected by cancer, that is why the mission of LLS is so important.

       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. 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?

  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!

   On behalf of blood cancer patients everywhere, thank you for your support! For more information about LLS, please visit www.lls.org

With love, 

Shea Yeager
