Toby Altman | Team Dawgs For A Cure

Toby's Student Visionaries of the Year Washington DC Fundraiser

Jan 14, 2024

Hi,

My name is Toby, I am a sophomore in high school. I am honored to be part of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society and to have signed up to save lives. My team and I are working to raise as much as possible over the next 7 weeks.

This campaign is especially meaningful to me because of my grandpa, Pop, who has been a major role model throughout my whole life. Pop was diagnosed with Leukemia in early spring of 2023 and has been battling it since then. Pop is an inspiration - He has worked-hard his whole life and is a natural leader. Beyond being a hall-of-fame lacrosse player, he's simply a great guy who puts his family first. Now it's my turn to put him first. 

Please help me raise money so people like Pop have more treatment options, better prognoses...more time. 

Over the years, support from people like you has been responsible for blood cancer advancements that have doubled, tripled, and in some cases quadrupled the survival rate for some blood cancers. 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.

All donations are greatly appreciated and will support LLS research, patient services, advocacy, public, and professional education, and community services as well.

 

Thank you for your consideration and together we can SAVE LIVES!!!
