Where to Donate ~ Fandom for Leukemia & Lymphoma Society

This website began 5 years ago when I ran my first half marathon with Team in Teaming for The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Since then I have completed many more half marathons and one triathlon with this organization. Together the Twilight and Hunger Games fandoms have raised more than $7,500 for LLS! Let's continue this amazing work again this year.

To help them in their efforts, donate at least $10 to The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, forward your receipt to Fandom4LLS@gmail.com, and you will receive a compilation of stories and one shots from all the authors who have donated. These written pieces will not be published anywhere else for a minimum of 3 months. But if you donate you will have a chance to read them before anyone else! Author submissions are due August 15th. All monetary donations are due August 30th. The compilations will be emailed in early September.

Here are some examples of what your donations are used for at LLS:

$5 is the cost of sending a newly diagnosed patient information about their disease and how to get support.

$25 covers a single prescription co-payment.

$35 pays for transportation expenses for a patient living in Northern California's most rural areas to treatment at a comprehensive cancer center.

$40 is the cost of sending a comprehensive packet of information for children with cancer.

$75 is the average cost of tissue typing to become a bone marrow donor.

$100 provides 3 patients access to an information teleconference.

$150 allows 5 patients to make a First Connection with a trained peer volunteer.

$200 provides a Family Support Group Program for one year for a patient and their family.

$500 allows 10 patients to log on to a webcast and hear the latest information in treatment for their disease.

$550 is the cost of a CT scan.

$1000 supports one week's salary for a medical researcher at UCSF, Stanford, or Berkeley who may discover key information to developing curative treatments for blood cancers.
