My name is Sydney Detwiler and I am a senior at Langley High School in McLean, Virginia. I am working alongside my team, Saxon Strong. I have signed up to work with the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) and help save the lives of patients with cancer. Our goal is to raise as many funds as possible over the next 7 weeks. I encourage you to join us in supporting LLS by making a donation to our fundraising campaign. Every dollar donated goes towards supporting the many facets of LLS's mission work from investing in groundbreaking research, providing education, support to patients, and advocating at the state and federal level for legislation to help those living with cancer. I sincerely appreciate your support and thank you from the bottom of my heart for every cent you donate. 

As you know, everyone wins when cancer loses. Your support 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 varying 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.

My team and I are very passionate about participating in the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society fundraising efforts and encourage you to make a contribution. Every donation means the world to us and can go towards saving hundreds and thousands of lives. 

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. 

Thank you!
