Please join us in supporting The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society by donating and/or providing items for Patient Care Packages to blood cancer patients around Indiana.
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!

Patient Care Packages
When blood cancer patients are receiving treatment, they are typically traveling multiple days a week. When arriving at a cancer center, our patients are sitting for hours at a time and sometimes are alone. Cancer treatments can be long, tiring and uncomfortable. By creating these Patient Care Packages, you will help provide our patients with the gift of warmth, comfort and entertainment. Items needed for the Care Packages range from health care, to activity books to comfort items. To confirm the item(s) you would like to provide, please fill out this form.
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, we thank you for your support! For more information about LLS, please visit www.lls.org.
