Ava's Students of the Year Fundraiser
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for visiting my fundraising page, welcome!
I currently have the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to join the battle and help those living with blood cancers in my community and around the country. I am extremely excited and grateful to tell you that I am running for The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society’s (LLS) Students of the Year program. From February 5th to March 26th my team and I will attempt to raise and reach our fundraising goal. Every penny we raise will go directly to LLS in support of its mission to find a cure and improve the quality of life of patients and their families. Along with my team, I will fight to increase awareness about blood cancer’s impact and inspire others to join me in finding a cure. 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.
I am running as a Students of the Year candidate in honor of my Uncle Paul's fight with Non-Hodgkins Follicular Lymphoma. Paul was diagnosed five years ago, and after undergoing six months of extensive chemotherapy, is now in remission! After watching someone I love battle such an awful disease, I knew I had to seize this amazing opportunity when it was presented to me. I am beyond thrilled to raise money in honor of my Uncle Paul's battle to work towards a world WITHOUT CANCER!
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.
If you have any questions or are interested in how you can get involved in my campaign and partnership with the LLS’ Students of the Year program, I am more than happy to talk and provide you with information. I hope this demonstrates how passionate and excited I am to lead this campaign and contribute to finding a cure. Thank you in advance for your support!
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!
