Thank You for your donation towards the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society
Knowing your donations are going towards a good cause can be highly rewarding! Your donations go toward funding new research, helping patients with blood cancers, and so much more.
Amari
Carson
Acute lymphoblastic leukemia or All is the most common form of cancer in children, adolescents and young adults younger than 20 years old. Lymphoma is the third most common cancer. In 2017, about 4,970 children, adolescents and young adults younger than 20 years old are expected to be diagnosed with leukemia throughout the US. Your donations help save the lives of patients like Amari and Carson.
Because of new and better therapies, funded by your donations, blood cancer survival rates for children have improved significantly during the last several decades. But there is still more to be done! More than one-third of blood cancer patients still dont not survive 5 years after their diagnosis.
Your donations also go towards research. The FDA approved CAR (chimeric antigen receptor) T-cell immunotherapy, a treatment in which a patient's T-cells, the soldiers of the immune system, are genetically reprogrammed to find and kill cancer cells. LLS recognized the early promise of this approach. Two types of CAR T-cell immunotherapy were approved by the FDA in 2017. Over the past two decades, LLS provided $40 million in funding for more than 15 researchers and companies around the world to develop this revolutionary approach to treating cancer. LLS's long term investment has paid off.
On behalf of blood cancer patients everywhere, I thank you for your support!
All donations are greatly appreciated and are tax deductible.

There is still more to be done! More than one-third of blood cancer patients still do not survive 5 years after their diagnosis.
Please help me reach my goal! I want to raise $100 online. If I reach my goal I will earn a Special Edition Hero Squad T-Shirt and become an official member of Amari's Squad as well as help save many other patients just like Amari.
