Charlie's Students of the Year Fundraiser

Jan 23, 2022
For the past six years, I have been passionate about raising money and awareness for cancer. Kids with cancer have always been my main focus and motivator, as I was only 12 when a photo of a little girl with a brain tumor named Katherine King changed my perspective on life. After an abundance t-shirt fundraisers, photography projects, and even participating on other people’s teams for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, I have finally had the honor to commit as an LLS Student of the Year candidate; I now have a platform and support like never before to allow me to raise the money and, more importantly to myself, the awareness I have longed to raise for so long. At my first meeting with LLS, and again by my mentor Sophie, I was asked, “what is your why?” At first, my why was Katherine. Now, my why changes every week. Last month, the heartbreaking story of a little girl, coincidentally named Charlie, became my main motivator. This week, the passing of a local 4-year-old named Finny has become my why. The fact that my why changes every week is so disturbing and ultimately motivating to me. People should not be dying from cancer. Kids should not be dying from cancer. We can do something!! LOVE can do something!! I’m so excited for Team LoveCan to make a difference in the lives of those battling cancer, and the lives of those in the future who have better options and hope due to the work we are doing. Please consider donating to the link in my bio, and be on the lookout for the exciting events my team will be hosting in the month to come!!!
 

Charlie's Students of the Year Fundraiser

Oct 20, 2021

I have signed up to save lives with the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) and am working to raise as much as possible over 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. Will you help me earn that title?
 
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
