Friends and family,

First of all, I want to thank you for visiting this page. Without donations from people like you, this fundraiser isn't possible- and for that I am so thankful. 

In 2013, my mom was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma, a blood cancer with no cure. While I am so grateful to be able to say she is in remission and has been for years, I know many other people are not as fortunate and cannot say the same. I am doing this fundraiser for my mom and for them. For the other kids who have had to be away from a loved ones for months on end because of extensive treatments. For the other kids who had to watch a parent struggle as they undergo chemotherapy. For the other little girls who have to hear that their mom might not live to see them graduate high school. 
 

This year, I’m proud to be a part of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s (LLS) Student Visionaries of the Year Campaign, working to raise as much as possible for LLS’s mission.

As a global leader in the fight against blood cancer, LLS:

• Funds cutting-edge research leading to breakthroughs in immunotherapy, genomics and personalized medicine that are improving and saving the lives of patients
• Provides free education and support for blood cancer patients and families, including personalized, one-on-one support, assistance with identifying and enrolling in clinical trials, and more.
• Mobilizes thousands of advocates to drive policy changes that accelerate the development of new cancer treatments and break down barriers to care.

Please consider joining this fight by making a donation. All donations are greatly appreciated and tax-deductible. Please visit my website often and tell friends who would also like to donate!

Thanks to your support, my efforts will help ensure this generation is the last to see cancer.

On behalf of blood cancer patients everywhere, thank you!

Every penny counts and is greatly appreciated. 
 

Sincerely, 

Maddy
