I am over halfway through my campaign, which ends on March 2nd, and I am over 90% of the way there in donations to reaching my mid-point goal.

If you want to do more, I would really appreciate it if you could send me contacts for me to reach out to.

If you have made a donation and work for a company that has a matching gifts program, your company may be able to match your donation. Don't know if your company has a matching gifts program? You can check using this link: https://www.matchinggifts.com/lls/

Thanks again for your support

Because of YOU, LLS is able to provide free information and counseling to help patients navigate their cancer journey. This support means the world to the patients and families. Donating to my Students of the Year campaign will help these efforts. Thank you for your support!

DID YOU KNOW? LLS funds research to develop "targeted therapies" that kill cancer cells selectively. These treatments don't harm a patients’ healthy cells resulting in fewer treatment related side effects. Together we can create a world without blood cancers - donate today.

I am honored to participate in 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 be 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(s) 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.

Since the early 1960s, five-year survival rates for many blood cancer patients have doubled, tripled or even quadrupled. And 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!
