I joined LLS because I wanted to give back to people and raise more awareness of blood cancer. I wanted to take time to spend outside of my own life and help others who may really need it. So, I became a part of this incredible organization who has changed my life for better. It has taught me to be organized, disciplined, and most importantly how to help in anyway possible. I put time and dedication into this campaign to help others and focus on things that originally didn’t even pass my mind. I learned so much about myself and our community. I realized that blood cancer is a serious problem, and it impacts people’s life in unimaginable ways. Therefore, I joined this organization to make a difference and help in every way I can.

Help me help others by making a simple donation. Your donation can help LLS find a cure for leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease and myeloma, and improve the quality of life of patients and their families. LLS is at the forefront of the fight to cure cancer. Compared to other blood cancer nonprofits, LLS is the largest funder of cutting-edge research to advance cures. Your donation goes towards cancer research and helps provides financial assistance for those who are fighting cancer. Every day 160 people die due to blood cancer, that's right 160! This is far too many people, they should not be battling cancer on top of many struggles life has. Today we are closer than ever to cures for many kinds of blood cancers. We are at the brink of life-changing breakthroughs. We can almost see the light at the end of the tunnel. Join me in helping reach this goal by giving a donation. Thanks in advance for your support!

I am honored to participate as a team member for the 2021 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!
