Thanks for visiting my page!

My name is Rebekah Rapp, and I am honored to be nominated as a candidate for The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society’s 2021 Students of the Year campaign. I am joining LLS in their mission to find cures and ensure access to treatments for blood cancer patients. This year’s campaign is inspired by the local Boy and Girl of the Year, Daeshawn and Leighton. They are both now in remission after years of treatment for leukemia. I am also running in honor of my grandfather who passed away in March and had a blood cancer.

My goal is to raise as much money as possible to help this amazing organization. Cancer affects almost everyone. Whether you had cancer yourself, had a family member, or friend who had cancer, or have just heard stories about how cancer has impacted other people, you know how hard it is for everyone involved. I am also incredibly inspired by the boy and girl of the year. They and their families have gone through so much in their short lives. I know that they, and countless other families fight so hard for more time with each other. It is because of patients like Daeshawn and Leighton, that LLS has created the LLS Children’s Initiative with a commitment to expand their investment in research and therapies to allow young patients to not only survive their cancer, but thrive in their lives after treatment.

I also recognize how hard this past year has been. Almost everyone has lost something to the pandemic. Whether it was a job, a family member, or time with the people you love, 2020 has hurt us all in many ways. But cancer has not stopped, so neither has LLS. In April of 2020 LLS started the COVID-19 Patient Financial Aid Program. Since then, they have helped over 19,000 patient families by providing over $4.8 million. Whatever you have to give can benefit patients and their lives greatly.

How can you help?

On this page, you can make a tax deductable donation. Any ammount of money helps LLS's quest to end cancer forever as well as providing patient care. Another way to multiply this impact is to share my link. Please feel free to show other people my page.
