Theo Weiman | Team Raise Hope Together
Theo's Students of the Year Fundraiser
I have signed up with two of my friends, Jack and Grace Sherner, to lead our Student of the Year team, team Raise Hope Together. We are coming together with a team of other students, mostly from schools in our area, to raise money for cancer research. Almost everyone is affected by cancer in some way. Three of my grandparents have had cancer, and our family's lives have been touched by the losses of David Holder, Joe Zamore, and Bob Buchalter to Lymphoma. LLS' work leads to developments in cancer research. While LLS specializes in fighting blood cancers, the majority of all cancer treatments come from developments with blood cancers. It has been a great experience to lead this fundraising team with a great group of kids, and we would all appreciate your support.
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.
On behalf of blood cancer patients everywhere, thank you for your support! For more information about LLS, please visit www.lls.org
