Leukemia Lymphoma Hodgkin's Disease

LLS is a non-profit organization that funds cancer research as well as runs a number of initiatives to cure Leukemia, Lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease and Myeloma. It is also a goal for them to improve the quality of life of the patients and their families.  Blood cancer survival rates have gone up more than three fold due to organizations like LLS that continue to make advancements over the years. Many LLS supported therapies not only help blood cancer patients but are now used to treat patients with rare forms of stomach and skin cancers. They're even being tested in clinical trials for patients with a range of cancers including lung, brain, breast, pancreatic and prostate cancers. LLS funded drugs are now being tested for patients with other non-cancerous diseases like Diabetes, Rheumatoid Arthritis and Multiple Sclerosis.

My friend's daughter along with a team of her 9th grade high-school friends are helping raise funds for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS). She and her high school friends are passionate about this cause. They proudly call themselves Team ProCURE and set themselves an ambitious target of raising $50,000 through various programs and events. 

Please join me in supporting these student leaders on this noble cause and encourage apathy & passion in students and youth leaders to take up causes like this.
