Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) Fundraiser
Donation protected
Hi All!
Thank you for visiting my page. This year, 2020, I'm running as a candidate in the Man/Woman of the Year Campaign. I have decided to join this campaign as LLS (Leukemia & Lymphoma Society) is driven to find cures for blood cancer. All funds raised will be donated to LLS.
This campaign is particularly special to me since LLS has positively affected my family. I have an 11 year old brother, Edu, who is currently undergoing Leukemia treatment in Houston, Texas; and he has participated in several clinical trials which were in part funded by LLS. Edu was first diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) when he was 5 years old and six years later, after several unsuccessful clinical trials and a failed bone marrow transplant (I was the donor), he continues to remain as positive as ever. He continues to be a silly, goofy kid (see videos below). He is the bravest person (adult or child) I know. We, as a family, are very hopeful that future experimental treatments will prove successful.
Thus, I'm running in this campaign in honor of my little brother, Edu.
Our team is working to raise as much as possible over the next 10 weeks. The candidate who raises the most funds earns the prestigious title of "Man or Woman of the Year".
**You can also donate through my official LLS fundraising page (www.tinyurl.com/ilsewoy). However, funds raised via this GoFundMe will be matched on a 1:1 basis. Thus, I encourage you donate via this page to double donations raised.
On behalf of blood cancer patients everywhere, thank you for your support! For more information about LLS, please visit www.lls.org
