Meet Team Phoenix MVP: Matt Hall!

Jan 28, 2021

Recently, at the begining of our campaign, we had the pleasure of meeting our Team Pheonix MVP and inspiration, Matt Hall.  He is a constant reminder to us of why LLS is so passionate about what they do.  Matt is currently in remission from ALL (acute lymphoblastic leukemia) and we're incredibly excited for him to end treatment in April 2021!  He is a true warrior with the greatest spirit, and we're so lucky to have him on our team!

 

In Loving Memory of Our Dear Friend, Gavin Rupp

Jan 28, 2021

Hello all! My co-candidate, Fiona, and I are dedicated to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's mission because we have experienced first-hand the effects of cancer on families, friends and communities. When first asked why we were interested in this campaign, we were reminded of our dear friend, Gavin Rupp, from 6th grade. Gavin was diagnosed with brain cancer at the age of 10. During his two-and-half-year battle with cancer, we watched Gavin poured his heart into everything he did, especially baseball, his favorite sport. It was heartbreaking to see him struggle through something he loved so much, but he fought so fiercely until the very end. He inspired us deeply with his strength and never-give-up attitude until his last breath on July 30th, 2013. Gavin’s brave story is why we are running in this campaign. We are channeling our friend’s strength and courage to reach Team Phoenix’s goal of $75,000 and with your help, we know we are one step closer to helping thousands of other children who are in similar situations as our sweet friend, Gavin.

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.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.

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!
