Hey guys!!

I'm so excited to share with you that I was given the opportunity to raise money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society and their mission to cure blood cancers! I am on "Team "Crushin It" led by my good friends Avery Byrne & Sydney Miller!

During this campaign from January 11 - March 1st 2019, our team goal is 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 paitents and their families.

Not only is this campaign a great way to support LLS and their life-saving work, but its a great leadership opportunity for me. All throughout my life I try to find ways that I can make a diffrence in the world, and when my friends introduced me to this campaign last year, I knew I wanted to participate. Like many of you, I have witnessed first-hand the debilitating effects that blood cancers can have on those who suffer from these blood diseases. In fact, every 10 minutes, someone dies from a blood cancer. LLS is finding cures. They are funding advances like targeted therapies that zero in on cancer cells and kill them, leaving healthy cells intact. Now is the time to give.

With your support of a tax-deductible donation, you can help save lives not someday, but today. 

If you have any desire to help, please consider making a donation today! Any and everything will make a tremendous diffrence in the lives of many children, adults, and families.

Thank you foryour generosity and support. Your donation truly makes a diffence and with your help, we're one step closer to a cure for blood cancers.

Until theres a cure, 

Sydney Janik

I am honored to participate as a team member for the 2019 Students of the Year program, 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 my candidate 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.

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.

Please 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!
