I am honored to participate as a team member for 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 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.

Competing in this campaign is in honor of the children and teenagers that are patients at the Pediatric BI-LO Charities Children's Cancer Center. I am a patient at the Children’s Cancer Center, and I am blessed to be able to have the cancer center as my inspiration. There are wonderful doctors at the center who nurture the patients, and patients who are Miracles. Being a patient at the center has given me the experience to learn the support the patients need. LLS has the mission of beating blood cancers and I’m apart of the mission. Next time I walk into the cancer center I’ll be glad to know I’m helping to see smiles on patients faces. I’m happy to support a cause that will bring miracles every day. 

We really are changing the face of blood cancer!
