It's the end of the 3rd week and there's still so so much to get done. Not getting discouraged, only getting more motivated!

It's week 2 and looking for Links Fore Leukemia foursomes, but missing Steve more than ever! I hope he's looking down on us with a smile on his face

Week one is officially over and now we're in Week2. There's still so much to do, but my team and I can do it!

I’m running for Student of the Year 2019 with the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society and my mission is trying to raise money for cancer research and financial assistance to those who are not able to afford the chemo and special treatments. It’s a 7 week campaign stemming from January 17 - March 7, 2019. I'm running in honor of Steven Spektor, a long time family friend who has always managed to put a smile on my face and will always be the phenomenal cook, human being, and jokester. Here is the link to donate. DONATE HERE . Please help me in bringing light to the darkness of cancer! Lots of love and thanks, Kate Wong

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.

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!
