Cancer is Tough, We Are Tougher

Did you know that 40% of pediatric cancers are blood cancers, 80% of childhood cancer survivors develop chronic health issues from treatments, and only 5% of cancer drugs have been approved for first time use in children? This is why we NEED safer, less toxic, more effective treatment.?
In 2022, LLS launched The Dare to Dream Project to transform treatment and care for kids with blood cancer, along with the PedAL Master Clinical Trial to expedite safer, more targeted, more effective treatments for pediatric acute leukemia.
Every single donation moves us one step closer to safer, more effective treatments and gives kids a chance to be kids and enjoy their favorite activities!
How You Can Help
Each year, passionate candidates engage in a philanthropic competition to earn The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's "Visionaries of the Year" #llsvisionaries title. This year I am proud to be a part of DTCC's Bowtie Brigade led by the amazing Tariq Siddiqui ! DTCC's Bowtie Brigade is working to raise funds that will help fund pioneering cancer research, patient services, and advocacy efforts.
Because of YOUR SUPPORT, LLS can provide free information and counseling to help patients navigate their cancer journey. This support is critical for the families, caregivers, and loved ones of patients. Donating to my team’s Visionaries of the Year campaign will help LLS continue these efforts for more and more people.
I have a vision for a world without cancer, but I need your help! The LLS was built on this same vision--of a better world--one without blood cancers. Every single dollar...every single donation makes a difference.
