Hi and welcome to my page!

My name is Brianna Wert and I am a junior at Foothill High School in Tustin, California. At my school, I am a part of the Varsity Girls Basketball team, as well as the vice president of the Pre-Med Club, and enrolled in the honors program. I am extremely honored and humbled to be a part of the CUREators team to help raise money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Several members of my family have been affected by cancer, which inspired me to join the team and contribute to spread awareness for this amazing cause. Thank you so much for thinking of supporting us in our campaign! If you have any questions about our goals or team or even would like an update on our progress, feel free to email me at briannaw323@icloud.com. 

Thanks, 

Brianna Wert

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!
