Students of the Year Hampton Roads

Thank you for your support!

Feb 25, 2020

I am honored to participate as a campaign specialist and mentor for the new 2020 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.

Together we are raising critical dollars in honor of a young patient hero who is currently battling or is in remission from a blood cancer. LLS's CEO and President, Dr Lou, believe the cure for all cancers will be found through blood cancer research. Additionaly, LLS has funded 3 Nobel Laureates and more than 15 members of the National Academy of Science? 

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 cancer patients everywhere, thank you for your support!
