Hi Everyone! My name is Clare Smith and my best friend Ava Connery and I are running for the Lekemia and Lymphoma Society Student of The Year. We are juniors at Shaker High School and we are working to raise $30,000 for the Leukemia and Lmphoma Society. We have both seen the effects cancer has had on friends and families and we want to help all of the other families out there who are dealing with fighting cancer.

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!
