Dear Friends and Family,

I am thrilled to announce that I have been nominated to be a part of The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society’s “Students of the Year” campaign. Students of the Year is a seven-week fundraising competition for High School students in Northern Ohio. The program is a chance for students to raise funds in hope of finding a cure to Blood Cancer. The LLS fundraising competition begins on January 26th and ends March 15th of 2019. My team and I are determined to raise $25,000 in hopes of being one step closer to finding a cure.

Since 1964, The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society has helped to find cures for many types of Blood Cancers. The 5-year survival rate for blood cancer has doubled, tripled, and even quadrupled. Even so, more than 1.2 million Americans are still living with or in remission from blood cancer. LLS has invested more than $1 billion into blood cancer research, making them the largest contributor in the nation. In fact, LLS supported therapies now treat patients with rare forms of autoimmune diseases as well and is funding $1.2 million in research alone right here in Cleveland!

This is something I truly feel passionate about and therefore I would like to personally invite you to join me and my team, Solon Supports LLS, in the fight against cancer. Together we can make a difference in the world and help find a cure for this disease.

All donations, no matter the size, will help us fund the fight against blood cancers. Remember that we can’t accomplish our goal without your support! For more information, please contact me at sanikamarwah20@solonschools.net
