Wow, never in a million years would i have thought I would be receiving this much support towards my campaign. Your kind donations mean so much more than words can describe. I wish i could hug each and everyone of you. I am so blessed. On that note, let’s continue the fight and push even harder to ensure that my mom will NEVER need cancer treatment! Happy world Cancer day🧡

My team and I are so excited to help raise money for such a worthy cause. As many of you know in 2014 my mom was diagnosed with CLL. Although she doesn’t need treatment now, it is a very real possibility and with the help of people like you, we can fight to ensure that she never will need treatment. The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society provides so many amazing services that are necessary to people fighting blood cancer. Thank you so much for your help and together we can end blood cancer!!

Dear friends and family,

I am honored to be a team member and support  the 2019 Students of the Year program, a seven-week initiative in which select high school students from the Greater Cleveland area participate in a fundraising competition to benefit The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.

This year, I am raising funds in honor of Jane, a local blood cancer survivor. On October 9, 2015 Jane woke up with a lump on her neck that continued to grow through out the day. Later, an x-ray showed that she had a mass and was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma. She was rushed to the Cleveland Clinic where she immediatly started chemo. Despite a relapse, fertility treatment, radiation and a stem cell transplant, Jane has been in remission since December 2016! 

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. 

Like The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, I believe that beating cancer is in our blood. Cancer is a bully, but I am not afraid to stand up and fight. I invite you to stand with me and join my fight! My 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. 

Together, 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!
