This is the last week of my LLS Fundraising Campaign, and this statistic alone makes me want to end cancer now.

Leukemia is the second leading cause of cancer death among children, adolescents and young adults younger than 20 years, accounting for 26.1 percent of all cancer deaths in this age group.

Please consider giving just $5 or more. Impact the lives of our children and young adults!

Don't forget to join us tomorrow on March 4th at 8 pm for this great livestream event and debut show!  Just grab a drink and enjoy the show!

This event is also a fundraiser by our friend Seamus (Rufus King High School senior). 100% of livestream donations will benefit The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. You can also make a donation for Seamus' project here: https://events.lls.org/wi/milsoy21/sheffernan

Each year the Students of the Year campaign raises funds in honor of a local blood cancer survivor we call our Honored Hero. This year we are raising funds in honor of Juan Pablo, a four year old from Mukwonago.  Juan Pablo was diagnosed with AML when he was just two years old.  After 5 consecutive rounds of intense chemotherapy and 153 days and nights in the hospital, Juan Pablo was able to ring the bell to signify the end of his cancer treatment and was declared cancer free.  Now Juan Pablo is a healthy four year old and making up for lost time in the hospital by spending lots of time running and playing with his three older siblings.

I am participating in The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's fundraising event to raise money and awareness for blood cancer patients & their families. The Leukemia & Lymphoma Societys mission is to cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease and myeloma, and improve the quality of life of patients and their families. LLS exists to find cures and ensure access to treatments for blood cancer patients.

Your donation not only supports my fundraising but the millions of patients and their families touched by blood cancer.

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page, welcome!

I encourage you to join me and my nephew, Seamus Heffernan, in supporting The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) by making a donation to my fundraising campaign. By donating to LLS, you support the many facets of LLS’s mission work from investing in groundbreaking research, providing education and support to patients, and advocating at the state and federal level for legislation to help those living with cancer. My appreciation for your support cannot be overstated — each and every dollar donated to LLS brings us closer to our goal to end blood cancer and makes an impact for cancer patients and their families.

As a global leader in the fight to end cancer, LLS is committed to doing more for blood cancer patients and families than any organization in the world. LLS’s signature fundraising campaigns drive critical support for its mission, including a nearly $1.3 billion investment in cutting edge cancer research worldwide since it was founded in 1949. Since the 1960s, survival rates for many blood cancer patients have doubled, tripled, or even quadrupled.

Every facet of LLS’s mission – research, education and support, and policy and advocacy – work in harmony to put blood cancer patients and their families first. LLS has helped millions impacted by cancer throughout its more than 70-year history, even funding breakthrough blood cancer research to advance lifesaving treatments and cures that is now helping patients with other cancers and diseases. That is why at LLS we say that beating cancer is in our blood.

Please visit my website as often as you can and share it with everyone you know who would also like to join us in the fight against cancer. Together, we have the power, the passion and the resolve to achieve a world without blood cancer. All donations are tax-deductible.

On behalf of cancer patients and their families everywhere, I sincerely thank you for your support!
