Hello and welcome to my page! My name is Isaac Yang, I am a 16 year old Junior at Bella Vista High, and I am a proud member of Team There is a Hero. I have been fortunate enough not to witness the effects of cancer within my family, however I did witness the effects of Leukemia on a peer from grade school. Fortunately, he made it through, and I remember the great amount of support for this young man from our community. We never think it can happen to us, but when it does it is reassuring to have the support of the community behind you. When I heard of the Leukemia Lymphoma Society and its amazing accomplishments I knew I had to provide support by getting involved. We dream big here at Team There is a Hero; we are hoping for a whopping $60,000 in fundraised donations by the time that the campaign ends! We have from Thursday, February 21st, 2019 at 6:00 pm until Friday, April 12, 2019 at 6:00 pm to meet our lofty goal. With your support, Team There is a Hero can achieve this and advance the Leukemia Lymphoma Society one step further into its research!

I am honored to participate in the 2019 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 be 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(s) 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!
