Cancer Conquerors
All around the world, someone hears these heartbreaking words everyday, "You have blood cancer." The grief these words cause spread like a wildfire. It starts with you, then a family member, then a friend, and before you know it, it feels like the whole world knows you have cancer.
The hurt cancer brings doesn't stop there. Blood cancer doesn't just attack you mentally or physically. No, it also attacks you financially. The treatment bills, the chemothreapy, the back to back visits, it all starts to add up and it becomes too overwhelming.
That's where I want to help. My goal is to raise $35,000 to help fund patient education and support. With the money I raise, I will use it to make a difference for the families and lives of those affected by blood cancer. I will help fight the fight by giving encouragement, guidance, and support to those in need, No one deserves to go through anything alone, but especially not blood cancer.
The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society was built on that same vision - of a better world - one without blood cancers, but we can't do it alone. We need your help, your participation, your voice.
