Our names are Sophia Shaker, Andrew Holzinger, and Lekha Choudary, and we are Team Rams for a Cure! We are honored to participate in the 2021 Students of the Year Campaign, and we are eager to enter the world of philanthropy! The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society has done outstanding work in the fight against cancer, by funding 60 out of the 70 FDA approved blood cancer treatments since 2017, investing over 46 million dollars in life-saving research just last year, and so much more.

 

In the United States, 45 children are diagnosed with some form of blood cancer every day. These children don’t get to experience basic childhood experiences such as going to school or hanging out with friends, small events that we often take for granted. The three of us are running to ensure that no child has to go through this, and that every child is able to live a happy life with their friends and family. 

 

Each dollar donated brings us a step closer to a cancer-free world. Your donation will not only support us, but will support the generation that will find a cure. 

 

Thank you for your generosity. Together, let’s bring an end to childhood cancer.

 

Sincerely,

Sophia Shaker, Andrew Holzinger, Lekha Choudary

    Cancer is such an ugly disease. We all know someone or countless someones who have lost their lives to its vicious nature. My father, two aunts and my brother-in-law are just a select few who have fought valiantly and lost. There is seldom a day that goes by that I don not think of them and wish they were still here. Please donate today and help to preserve future lives. Thank you to the MVS students who have worked so hard to increase awareness!

    I lost my sister June 21, 2019 after a long battle with a rare form of blood disease. She responded well to a bone marrow transplant and extended her life for 5+ years.
