I am honored to lead a team of dedicated Champion High School volunteers for the 2020 Students of the Year program to benefit The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. Our mission is to not only raise 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.

WE ARE IN OUR FINAL TWO WEEK STRETCH OF FUNDRAISING and genuinely appreciate ANY amount you would be willing to improve the odds of those battling blood cancers. On their behalf, thank you for your support!
