Please join us in supporting The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) by making a donation in memory of Thom Thomas. Your support will help fund the therapies and treatments and help save lives today.
Thom was otherwise in stellar health except for general tiredness for several weeks before his diagnosis, and so to be struck by Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) was completely unexpected. It was barely two weeks from diagnosis to the end, suddenly cutting short a creative and productive life and career. It would be Thom’s wish to discover more effective treatments and to spare others of suffering from this terrible cancer.
LLS's continued advancements over the years, are responsible for the blood cancer survival rate doubling and tripling; in some cases, the survival rate has even quadrupled. And many LLS supported therapies not only help blood cancer patients but are now used to treat patients with rare forms of stomach and skin cancers. They're even being tested in clinical trials for patients with a range of cancers including lung, brain, breast, pancreatic and prostate cancers. LLS funded drugs are now being tested for patients with other non-cancerous diseases like Diabetes, Rheumatoid Arthritis and Multiple Sclerosis.
We really are changing the face of blood cancer.
All donations are greatly appreciated and are tax deductible. They'll not only support LLS research but patient services, advocacy, public and professional education, and community services as well.
On behalf of blood cancer patients everywhere, thank you for your support.
