Cancer has affected aspects of many people's lives. Just a week ago from the date of this post, I lost my vibrant uncle to cancer, and within the past six months, my two dogs have passed away from this deadly disease.  According to Cancer.org, an estimated 1.8 million were diagnosed with the illness in the United States alone, and over 600,000 people died from it. These numbers include 89,500 diagnosed adolescents and around 9,000 deaths in young adults.

So why do I fight? I fight for Daisy and Max. I fight for my Uncle Ronald. I fight for the millions of children around the world who never got to grow up and experience the amazing world and people around them. I fight for the millions of people who are currently affected by this deadly disease. And I fight for the millions more who will suffer from cancer unless we as humanity take a stand against this worldwide sickness. Donate to an organization that you know will help get the job done. Donate to LLS.  

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page, welcome!

I encourage you to join me in supporting The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) by making a donation to my fundraising campaign. By donating to LLS, you support the many facets of LLS’s mission work from investing in groundbreaking research, providing education and support to patients, and advocating at the state and federal level for legislation to help those living with cancer. My appreciation for your support cannot be overstated — each and every dollar donated to LLS brings us closer to our goal to end blood cancer and makes an impact for cancer patients and their families.

As a global leader in the fight to end cancer, LLS is committed to doing more for blood cancer patients and families than any organization in the world. LLS’s signature fundraising campaigns drive critical support for its mission, including a nearly $1.3 billion investment in cutting edge cancer research worldwide since it was founded in 1949. Since the 1960s, survival rates for many blood cancer patients have doubled, tripled, or even quadrupled.

Every facet of LLS’s mission – research, education and support, and policy and advocacy – work in harmony to put blood cancer patients and their families first. LLS has helped millions impacted by cancer throughout its more than 70-year history, even funding breakthrough blood cancer research to advance lifesaving treatments and cures that is now helping patients with other cancers and diseases. That is why at LLS we say that beating cancer is in our blood.
