HELLO EVERYONE!!! I am honored to participate as a team member of TEAM CRUSHIN' IT for the 2019 Students of the Year program with my best friend Avery Byrne along with Sydney Miller. The Students of the Year Campaign is 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 Avery and Sydney 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.

During this campaign, Team Crushin’ It hopes to raise $77,777 which will go directly to LLS in support of its longstanding mission: to find a cure for blood cancers and improve the quality of life of patients and their families. We chose this goal because 7 is the number of spiritual perfection. It is the number which is stamped on every work of God. Even though our goal may be high, we are willing to work non-stop to achieve it. 

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.

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!
