2) Making a donation to LLS on this website​​​​​​

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​THANK YOU on behalf of Team Grant the Champ!

I started fundraising for LLS when I was in the 8th grade after my little pal Grant Capp was diagnosed with Leukemia.  It was a shock to us all, and I wanted to badly to help in a tangible way. I started my first fundraiser with the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society and raised $8,000 that year.  This year, as a Senior in high school, my goal is to raise at least $50,000 to help others just like Grant.

Grant Capp was only 2.5 years old when he was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia.  He's 8 years old now and just passed the threshold of being cancer free for 5 years!  He has been moved to long-term care, and the doctors are confident that the cancer will not return. Grant's recovery would not have been possible without the lifesaving work that LLS does every day.    ​​​​​​​

​​​​​​​

I can't do this alone, so thank you in advance for helping this worthy cause!​​​​​​​  On behalf of blood cancer patients everywhere, thank you!​​​​​​​
