Meet Asher! Oregon & SW Washington's 2020 Boy of the Year. Each year the Oregon & SW Washington chapter of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society selects a Boy of the Year, a pediatric cancer survivor who the Students of the Year and Man Woman of the Year campaigns all raise money in honor of. This year, we are so thrilled to have Asher and his family with us! 

Asher was diagnosed at just 2-years old with Acute Myeloid Leukemia. He's a total sweetheart who loves ice cream, Sesame Street, and also has Down Syndrome. His amazing mom, Shay, told LLS staff that LLS helped her afford rent while she took time off of work during Asher's treatment. He is one of the thousands of incredible children LLS supports every year and whose life is impacted by the efforts of our amazing volunteers and the donors they connect our organization to. Asher is now in remission! Look forward to meeting him and his beautiful family at our Grand Finale Gala on Sunday, March 8!
