Fight for Hope: Support Those Battling Leukemia and Lymphoma

Join Us in the Fight Against Cancer!

My name is Will Baden and I go to St. John's Jesuit. Every day, countless individuals and families are faced with the devastating diagnosis of leukemia and lymphoma. These blood cancers can be incredibly challenging to navigate, both emotionally and financially. Our mission is to provide support, resources, and hope to those affected by these diseases, but we can’t do it without your help.

Why Your Support Matters

Leukemia and lymphoma affect people of all ages, often striking unexpectedly. The journey involves not only medical treatments but also emotional and financial burdens that can feel overwhelming. Your donations will directly assist patients and their families by:

  • Providing Financial Assistance: Covering costs related to treatments, medications, and necessary travel for care.
  • Offering Emotional Support: Funding counseling services and support groups to help individuals cope with their diagnosis.
  • Funding Research: Contributing to innovative research aimed at finding better treatments and, ultimately, cures.

Our Goal

This fundraising campaign aims to raise as much money as possible to directly support patients and their families facing leukemia and lymphoma. With your help, we can provide:

  • Emergency financial aid for treatment costs
  • Support groups for patients and families
  • Funding for cutting-edge research initiatives

Together, we can make a difference

Join us in our mission to bring hope and support to those fighting leukemia and lymphoma. Your contribution is more than just a donation; it’s a lifeline for someone in need.

About Me

I am proud to support this important cause and am excited to make a difference. I attend St. John's Jesuit High School, where I actively participate in soccer, the Ambassador program, and the National Honor Society. I am also a dedicated member of the City of Toledo Youth Advisory Board, where we organize events, volunteer at public functions, and work on initiatives to improve our community—from cleaning up parks to enhancing public spaces. 

Additionally, I have been a caddie at Inverness for four years. This experience has taught me invaluable lessons in responsibility, teamwork, and leadership that I will carry with me for life.

I am committed to raising as much support as possible for this cause and showing compassion for those battling cancer. Together, we can make a difference in their lives. 

Donate Today and Help Us Spread Hope!

Thank you for your compassion and support. Together, we can make a real impact in the lives of those affected by blood cancers. Your kindness and generosity can help turn despair into hope and give families the strength to fight on.

    I'm donating in honor of my husband, Emmet, who was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma in 2011 and has been cancer-free for 13 years, and in memory of Uncle Rick (Will's grandpa), who I'm sure would be so incredibly proud of this initiative!
