We have come so far just in the first week, thank you so much to all that have supported! Your contributions truly make a difference in the lives of cancer patients!

Hello there! Thank you so much for taking the time to visit my page, and hopefully donate to this wonderful cause. 

A quick recap: The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society is the largest donor to blood cancer research in the nation. In order to honor those who have fought and witnessed family members battle blood cancer all of the money raised will go directly to LLS. What I admire most about LLS is that they provide just as much emotional support to families through things like support groups. It is proven that human interaction is essential and individuals like Dr.Joanne Cacciatore have said that “there is no pharmacy that can fill the need for compassionate interaction with others.”
I strongly believe that a community’s happiness is reliant on the connectivity and support within; thus each helping action makes a difference. This is incredibly important to me because, as Aloe Blacc once said, “We all bleed the same blood and we are all part of the same global community.” Thus, it is our duty to try and help our communities and I would like to do my part by uniting community member with a common cause. 

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!
