In fact, drugs first approved for blood cancers are now approved to treat patients with stomach cancers, skin cancers, and autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis. And many LLS supported therapies not only help blood cancer patients but are helping patients with other cancers and serious diseases. Since the early 1960s, five-year survival rates for many blood cancer patients have doubled, tripled or even quadrupled. Our mission is to not only raise the most money but also to bring attention to blood cancers like leukemia, which is the most common form of cancer in children and teens. The candidate team that raises the most money at the end of the seven weeks is named Student of the Year. I am proud to support my candidate and am raising critical dollars in honor of a young patient hero who is currently battling or is in remission from a blood cancer. I am honored to participate as a team member for the 2020 Students of the Year program, a seven-week initiative in which select high school students from around the country participate in a fundraising competition to benefit The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.
