I encourage you to be a part of this campaign with me! I am extremely proud and grateful of all of my team members for taking on this journey and honoring Mrs. Kim. As I finish out the campaign, I need your help to reach my goal! Let’s make these last 24 hours count!

I am honored to participate in the 2019 Students of the Year program, a seven-week fundraising competition to benefit The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. The candidate team that raises the most money at the end of the seven weeks is named Student of the Year. My team’s goal is to raise $50,000, so that we can link our team name to an LLS-funded research portfolio.

As you may know, cancer has greatly affected my life in the past. I most recently lost my grandma, Oma, to cancer and my close friend’s mom, Kim Roberts, also lost her battle in 2016. I have witnessed firsthand the debilitating effects that cancer, including leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin’s disease, and myeloma can have on those who suffer, and on the friends and family who care for and nurture their loved ones. I hope to see the day that a cure reaches the hands of my friends and family in need, especially since leukemia causes more deaths than any other cancer among children under the age of 20.
 

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!

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!
