When I was very young, my great grandfather passed away due to a rare, lesser-known type of blood cancer called Polycythemia Vera. As so many other families and patients are affected by various types of blood cancer, I want to make a difference and help as much as possible.
In honor of my great grandfather, I am proud to announce I will be participating in the 2020 Palm Beach-Treasure Coast 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 (LLS). My team's goal is to raise $100,000 for this cause that is so near and dear to my heart.
Please join me to support this important cause by helping my team raise critical dollars for the LLS mission: Cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease and myeloma, and improve the quality of life of patients and their families. Each dollar we raise counts as 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! Every dollar counts!
