Alex and Maddie's Efforts to Make a Difference
![]()
We, Alex Volk and Maddie Jecker, have signed up to save lives with the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) and we are working to raise as much as possible over the next 7 weeks. Every dollar raised counts as one vote for our campaign. The candidate(s) whose team tallies the most votes earns the prestigious title of Student or Students of the Year. Will you help us earn that title?
As you know, everyone wins when cancer loses. Thanks to your support, our 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 our 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
Sincerely,
Alex Volk and Maddie Jecker

I don’t know many families that have not been touched by the devastating effects of cancer. My heart goes out to all those who have suffered the loss of someone near and dear, and I especially want everyone to pray for the children who are undergoing treatment for cancer. I could not list the names of all the family members and friends lost to cancer, but remember them for the special persons they were.
