A Message From Dr. Lou
It is with profound sadness that I write to inform you all of the passing of Ty Griesenbeck, husband of our Chief Relationship Officer, Kathy Griesenbeck. Ty was a highly respected attorney in San Antonio and a huge supporter of LLS, working tirelessly on the Man & Woman of the Year campaign. Yesterday, Ty lost a hard-fought battle with acute myeloid leukemia.
Kathy, a member of the LLS family for nearly 20 years, has always embodied our drive to conquer blood cancer. In their time of grief, our thoughts and prayers are with the entire Griesenbeck family.
Stay well,
Louis J. DeGennaro, Ph.D. | LLS President and CEO
Please join us in supporting The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) by making a donation In Memory of Ty Griesenbeck. Your support will help fund the therapies and treatments and help save lives today.
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!
