Team Wonder Women
Welcome to Team Wonder Women! We hope you decide to join us and contribute to our journey to fight against blood cancers!
Together, we are two passionate best friends whose mission is to not only increase awareness for blood cancers, but also to raise money to benefit its research! We are honored to participate as a campaign team 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. During this campaign we are beyond proud to support and raise critical dollars in honor of our young candidate hero, Grace, who is currently in remission from battling Leukemia, the most common form of cancer in children and teens.
We were driven to join this campaign after seeing the effects cancer has had on our own families. Kenna's mom, Becky, was diagnosed with breast cancer less than two years ago, and since then both of us girls have learned how important organizations, such as LLS, are to families going through similar situations. The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society is one of the leading nonprofit research foundations dedicated to creating a world without blood cancers. Its research will not only benefit blood cancers, but will one day help find a cure for all cancers.
"Becky was like a second mom to me, and seeing her and her family go through something so devastating changed my entire outlook on life. As only a sophomore in highschool during her diagnosis, Kenna was supposed to be experiencing one of the most happy, socially lighthearted times of her life, but instead was faced with contemplating the idea of losing her mom at any given moment." - Ava
"It has become so important to me to contribute towards a chance at a cancer free world. The day that we find a cure, will be the day that I stop working towards one." - Kenna
Once again, we hope you decide to join us and contribute to our journey to fight against blood cancers! The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society is an amazing program that is worth every donation. 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!
For more information about LLS, please visit www.lls.org.
On behalf of blood cancer patients everywhere and ourselves, thank you for your support!
- Kenna & Ava
