Hey everyone!! Let's kick cancer' butt!! My son, Ethan, is a candidate for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s national Students of the Year campaign. He was nominated by his cousin, Jake, a childhood leukemia survivor and 2020 Dallas Students of the Year winner to lead Team For Others in a guest to raise $100,000 before February 27. This campaign hits home for us in so many ways – not to mention that blood cancer is the $1 disease killer among children under the age of 20! Not only is Ethan fundraising for a great cause, but as a high school students he is honing his marketing, leadership and networking skills. If you would like to support Team For Others, or just learn more about Ethan’s mission, check out his fundraising page here: https://events.lls.org/ntx/soyntx21/ebeyer How can you help? 1-You can contribute directly 2-Your company can match or sponsor 3-You can spread the message through your network THANK YOU!

I am honored to participate as a team member for the 2021 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!
