Welcome to my fundraising page! 

For those who may not know me very well, my name is Nicole and I am a freshman at Suncoast High School, where I am in the Math Science and Engineering program. In my freetime, I enjoy being outdoors, playing soccer, golf, going on bike rides, scuba diving and flying RC airplanes. I am so grateful for this learning opportunity LLS has given me and I am so excited to see what my team and I will accomplish over the course of this campaign.

I am helping raise money for LLS to help all those who have lost loved ones to this blood cancer. About every three minutes one person in the U.S. is diagnosed with blood cancer. It has been estimated that the combined total of people who will be diagnosed with leukemia, lymphoma, or myeloma in the U.S. is 178,520 this year alone. Out of all those people, it is estimated that 56,840 of them will die from it.

Please join me in supporting The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) by making a donation to my fundraising campaign. Thanks to your support, our efforts will help fund the therapies and treatments and help save lives today.

LLS's continued advancements over the years, are responsible for the blood cancer survival rate doubling and tripling; in some cases, the survival rate has even quadrupled. Many LLS supported therapies not only help blood cancer patients but are now used to treat patients with rare forms of stomach and skin cancers. They're even being tested in clinical trials for patients with a range of cancers including lung, brain, breast, pancreatic and prostate cancers. LLS funded drugs are now being tested for patients with other non-cancerous diseases like Diabetes, Rheumatoid Arthritis and Multiple Sclerosis.

We really are changing the face of blood cancer!

All donations are greatly appreciated and are tax deductible. They'll not only support LLS research but patient services, advocacy, public and professional education, and community services as well.

Please visit my Web site often and bring friends who would also like to donate! On behalf of blood cancer patients everywhere I thank you for your support! For more information about LLS, please visit lls.org

Thank you,

Nicole I. Ward
