Hello Everyone! Happy Monday! 

The Student of the Year competition is almost coming to an end; however, we are still pushing until the very end! Please continue to support out team; together, I know we can get to our goal! I also wanted to take a moment to thank everyone who have donated and supported the campaign so far. By donating and supporting, you have made it your "project [to] cure"!  

P.S. Did you notice out team name change? hehe

Happy Valentine's Day, everyone! 

In honor of Valentine’s Day, help us spread the love and make strides towards ending cancer. 

This week, I ask that you share my fundraising link with your contacts via email or social media. You are welcome to forward this Valentines message along, or copy/paste my link to Facebook/Twitter/LinkedIn – whatever social media you use! Social media is a powerful tool, and I hope you are able to share.

Through this campaign we have seen the power of networking and spreading the LOVE, and the more hearts we are able to touch this week, the closer we will be to finding a CURE to cancer.

Your support will make a difference. LOVE CAN FIND A CURE.

Happy Monday, Everyone! 

Just wanted to thank Mother of Perpetual Help Parish for an amazing campaign! All the love and support shown from the parishioners of the parish was amazing.

Shout-out to our awessome members were busy at work who were collecting donations and doing their absolute best to make this campaign happen! We are well on our way towards our goal; please continue to support our campaign!

Welcome to the Year of the Rat! Last Saturday marked the beginning of the Vietnamese New Year, also know as Lunar New Year. Not only is it celebrated in Vietnam, but it is also celebrated in multiple Asian countries, such as China, Korea, and Taiwan. The Lunar New Year is celebrated in many different ways, depending on the country. In the Vietnamese tradition, red envelopes, called lì xì, containing money, are gifted (mostly from adults to children) in exchange for wishes of good health, success, and good luck. 

Unfortunately, last Saturday also marked the first "year" my family and I were unable to celebrate the new year with my grandpa, who passed away due to leukemia stage 4 in October. In honor of his memory, I have dedicated this campaign to him, in hopes that our efforts towards the search for the cure will ensure that those with cancer are able to fully follow through the "wish" for good health, not only for this new year, but for the rest of their lives. 

Please continue to support and donate to our campaign; we are well on our way to our goal! 

Thank you for joining our fight for the cure!

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!
