Team candidates and supporting team members from Regis Jesuit, provided by officials from LLS, are listed below. 

Team aTAK Cancer, led by Kylar Cronin '21, Taylor Landow '21 and Ainsley Pitrusu '22, was inspired to support LLS as they have each have witnessed many family members and friends battle various cancers.
“Many people, like us, have been personally impacted by cancer and want to help create change. LLS has made outstanding efforts in the treatment of blood cancer to make a change. Your donation will help further these efforts.“ 
Other supporting team members from Regis Jesuit are Tara Connolly ‘21, Finn Cooper ‘21, Ayva Gallagher ‘24, Morgan Landow ’24 and Taylor Truitt ‘21. To learn more about their participation, visit the aTAK Cancer page.

We don't want anyone to go through what our dad, or our family, went through. We encourage you to support our campaign to fight back against cancer.“

Ella Brustkern was inspired to support LLS and Team In For A Cure from Lakewood after a close friend's father passed away from cancer last year. To do her part, she is raffling off an original and custom artwork as part of her fundraiser.
“By donating to LLS, you support the many facets of their mission work from investing in groundbreaking research, providing education and support to patients, and advocating at the state and federal level for legislation to help those living with cancer. Together, we have the power, the passion and the resolve to achieve a world without blood cancer.”
