Hi, my name is Saihithi Akula and I have signed up to save lives with the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society as a team member of team CUREsaders! to raise as much money as I can over the next 7 weeks.

I also participate in many clubs such as HOSA, The Red Cross, Pre-professional Health Honor Society, and Key Club. Some extracurricular activites and hobbies that I enjoy are playing field hockey, art, and reading. My goal is to assist my team in raising money for blood cancer research and treatment, and we need YOUR help.

With your support, donations will support research for a cure. I would greatly appriciate if you could support us in coming one step closer to helping millions of lives in the future. All amounts are accepted, and will benefit our campagin greatly! Please share this page with anyone you think or is willing to donate and spread the message of LLS, because everyone wins when cancer is no longer in our blood!

Saihithi Akula, Team CUREsaders!

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.
 
Please visit my website often and tell friends who would also like to donate!
 
On behalf of blood cancer patients everywhere, thank you for your support! For more information about LLS, please visit www.lls.org
