Faith's Students of the Year Fundraiser

Feb 02, 2022

Hi to everyone here on my page! My name is Faith Vagnoni, and I am running as a candidate for the Student of the Year Program. Of course I could not do this alone, I am joined by my wonderful team: Emma Vagnoni, Louise Martin, Lily Markalunas, Sadie Medlock, Sanaa Channell, Pera Roberts, Suhani Srivastava, and Freda Bilstein. Together we are fundraising for the Leukemia Lymphoma Society to help reduce deaths from blood cancers as much as possible. 

I started this campaign in honor of my friend Louise's mom who was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia last year. She is on the road to recovery and she has been helped in innumerous ways by the Leukemia Lymphoma Society. 

For those unfamiliar, the Student of the Year campaign means that I am competing with other students in my region to see who can raise the most money for LLS in the next 7 weeks. Every dollar raised counts as one vote for my campaign. The candidate(s) whose team tallies the most votes earns the prestigious title of Student or Students of the Year.

As you know, everyone wins when cancer loses. Thanks to your support, my efforts will help fund therapies and treatments that are saving lives. Over the years, support from people like you has been responsible for the blood cancer advancements that have doubled, tripled, and in some cases quadrupled the survival rate for some blood cancers.
 
Many LLS-supported therapies not only help blood cancer patients but are also now used to treat patients with rare forms of stomach and skin cancers and are in clinical trials for patients with lung, brain, breast, pancreatic and prostate cancers. And LLS-funded drugs like targeted therapies and immunotherapies are now saving thousands of lives every day. 
 
We really are getting close to our goal of a world without blood cancers!
 
All donations are greatly appreciated and tax-deductible. They'll not only support LLS research, but patient services, advocacy, public and professional education, and community services as well.
 
Please visit my website often and tell friends who would also like to donate!
 
On behalf of blood cancer patients everywhere, thank you for your support! For more information about LLS, please visit www.lls.org
