My name is Jenna Fratus and I am a Junior at St. Francis High School. I am part of Team Women 4 Survivors in the Leukemia and Lymphomas Society’s Students of the Year Campaign. My fellow team members and I are doing our part in the rigorous fight against blood cancer by raising money that will be utilized by the Leukemia Lymphoma Society (LLS).

LLS is the world’s largest nonprofit working to fight blood cancer. They work to find cures and to ensure patients have access to the lifesaving treatments they need. In recent years, enormous advances in treatments have been made. LLS has invested over $1.2 billion dollars in cancer research since 1949. Beyond blood cancer, breakthrough advances in LLS funded research are now helping patients with other cancers and diseases.
