Students of the Year Jacksonville
Olivia Wallace | Cancer Crusaders
Welcome to Olivia Wallace's SOY Fundraising Page!
Hi! My name is Olivia Wallace, and I am currently a junior at Bishop Kenny High School! Blood cancers have impacted my family by taking the life of my great grandmother, and recently my other great grandmother was diagnosed with Leukemia. When I was in 7th grade, my grandfather, whom I was very close to, passed away from lung cancer and it shattered me. Because of my personal experience with cancer and the guidance of my Christian faith I want to do everything I can to help others in need and assist in the mission to find a cure to cancer. I thank you in advance for partnering with a campaign so close to my heart. If you are able to give, please remember, every bit counts. If you are unable to make a donation at this time, I ask that you please pray for those affected by cancer and for those striving to find a cure.
Thank you,
Olivia Wallace

Welcome to Olivia Wallace's SOY Fundraising Page!
I am honored to participate as a team member for the 2020 Students of the Year program, a seven-week initiative in which select high school students from around the country participate in a fundraising competition to benefit The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. I am proud to support my candidate and am raising critical dollars in honor of a young patient hero who is currently battling or is in remission from a blood cancer. Each dollar is a vote. The candidate team that raises the most money at the end of the seven weeks is named Student of the Year. Our mission is to not only raise the most money but also to bring attention to blood cancers like leukemia, which is the most common form of cancer in children and teens.
Since the early 1960s, five-year survival rates for many blood cancer patients have doubled, tripled or even quadrupled. And many LLS supported therapies not only help blood cancer patients but are helping patients with other cancers and serious diseases. In fact, drugs first approved for blood cancers are now approved to treat patients with stomach cancers, skin cancers, and autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis.
We really are changing the face of blood cancer!
All donations are greatly appreciated and are tax deductible. They'll not only support LLS-funded research but will help provide critical information and support for patients, and support advocacy for laws to ensure patients can access the care and treatments they need.
Please visit our website often and bring friends who would also like to donate!
On behalf of blood cancer patients everywhere, thank you for your support!
