Hi, my name is Alex Evans and I am running for Sacramento's 2020 Students of the Year! Me and my co-candidate, Alex Desmond, are hoping to raise $100,000 for The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society’s mission. We are doing this in honor of Toben, our 7-year old Honored Hero, who just finished treatment at the end of 2019! Any amount matters and is greatly appreciated, and please consider sharing my fundraising page to your friends and family by email and social media. Thank you so much in advance for your support! #somedayisTODAY

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! Because we cannot keep waiting for "someday" to come along where we find the cure to cancer: someday is today. 

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!
