Blake Christopherson & Ruby Rummelhart | Team Brave

Welcome to Team BRAVE's SOY Fundraising Page!

Feb 27, 2018

Welcome To Team Brave's Fundraising Page!

We have been given the opportunity of a lifetime to help others, so please join us in supporting The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) by making a donation!

 

We decided to join the Student of the Year campaign, and start Team Brave to raise as much money as possible for the LLS in honor of Ruby's little brother Sawyer.

Ruby’s brother Sawyer was diagnosed with Burkitts Lymphoma in April of 2015 at the age of 8.  He was treated at Kaiser in Rocklin with many children like him. He went through difficult chemo and radiation treatments and spent numerous days in the hospital. Sawyer was also given a feeding tube during his treatment to ensure he received proper nutrition when he was too sick to eat. When not in the hospital, Sawyer enjoyed beating his family at monopoly, playing basketball with his neighbors, and making everyone around him smile. He was incredibly brave which is why we are named Team Brave. Sawyer passed away February 19, 2016 at the age of 9. There have been several children including Sawyer who have passed in our town, Lincoln, in the last 3 years.


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 TEAM BRAVE'S Web site often and bring friends who would also like to donate! (And if your employer matches, even better!)

On behalf of blood cancer patients everywhere we thank you for your support!
For more information about LLS, please visit lls.org

    I followed Sawyer and his family through their fight with cancer, I did not know them but Sawyer's story and how they dealt with it until his passing, was beautiful. For such awful circumstances they were able to find a way to find happiness, to make each moment they had left with him count. Sawyer was brave, and he should be here with his family. RIP little buddy #livelikesoy
