Fandom for Leukemia & Lymphoma Society: 2nd Annual ...

Has someone in your family been affected by leukemia? Have you always wondered what lymphoma really is? Fandom4LLS has formed to benefit the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society!

Approximately every 4 minutes one person in the United States is diagnosed with a blood cancer. Cancer has affected many of our lives. I have met many survivors who have had to rebuild their lives since they were diagnosed. Worrying about who will take care of their children if they die and if the treatment will actually work. Their stories have touched my life and I hope they will touch yours as well.

Fandom4LLS is hoping to not only bring awareness to these cancers but to put a face to the name. We encourage you to explore the site and you will find something you can connect with.?

Throughout the event we will be spotlighting Real Life Heroes who have lived with cancer, but have not let it stop them from achieving their goals and more. You can read about remarkable Louie Bonpu and others now.?

Thanks to donations from others, cancer research has made many milestones, but still every 10 minutes, someone in the US dies from a blood cancer. For a minimum $5 donation, you can receive a compilation of stories by Twific authors. Just click on the "Donation" page and follow the link, then email your receipt to Fandom4LLS@gmail.com. Your donations will go directly to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society who's mission is to cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease and myeloma, and improve the quality of life of patients and their families.

We hope that you will support us in this cause with a mission to wipe out blood cancers. Tell your favorite fic author to donate an outtake or deleted scene that you have been anxious to read. Last year we raised $5,400 and this year we hope to raise more. With your help we hope to reach our goal of $6,000!

All author pieces must be submitted by August 15th and all donations must be submitted by August 30th. This gives you almost 3 months to convince your favorite authors to participate!
