Isaiah's Students of the Year Fundraiser

Jan 29, 2021

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page, welcome!

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.

My Why:

When my mom was younger, her aunt was diagnosed with breast cancer and became very sick. It was a difficult time for her family. However, through the grace of God and the abilities of good doctors, she thrived for many years until she passed earlier this year. Her strength and courage inspired me to join this campaign to fight against cancer. I want to ensure that physicians, researchers and caregivers have the resources and money needed to assist all who are stricken with this awful disease.

Recent Impact:

They say cancer affects 1 out of every 3 people and I want to do my part to help find the cure. Just recently, I found out that my grandmother was diagnosed with breast cancer. Due to the advance research the doctors had at their disposal; they can treat the tumor before it could do any major damage.

I love my grandmother dearly. That’s a big reason why I’m dedicating my campaign to helping researchers find more ways to treat and limit cancer’s impact.

My grandmother shared, God blessed me to have doctors and caregivers who successfully performed my lumpectomy at MedStar Georgetown University Hospital. The support of family and friends also strengthened me.  I prayed…so I did not worry. I knew that God would take care of me. I am truly thankful that the research of the past has created the knowledge of the present to help with early detection and treatment to fight against cancer.”

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!

Isaiah
