1. Every 3 minutes someone is diagnosed with a blood cancer and every 9 minutes someone dies from one.

2. More than 1.3 million peple are living with or in remission from Leukemia, Lymphoma, or Myleoma.

3. More than 1/3 of blood cancer patients do not survive 5 years after being diagnosed.  

The mission of team Green & Orange is quite simply to motivate others to give back to the community. We want our sponsors to know that they are not giving to a student or to a team but to a cause with the ultimate goal of curing blood cancer.   

Since the early 1960s, five-year survival rates for many blood cancer patients have doubled, tripled or even quadrupled. And many LLS supported therapies not only help blood cancer patients but are helping patients with other cancers and serious diseases. In fact, drugs first approved for blood cancers are now approved to treat patients with stomach cancers, skin cancers, and autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis.

We really are changing the face of blood cancer!

All donations are greatly appreciated and are tax deductible. They'll not only support LLS-funded research but will help provide critical information and support for patients, and support advocacy for laws to ensure patients can access the care and treatments they need.

Please visit our website often and bring friends who would also like to donate!

On behalf of blood cancer patients everywhere, thank you for your support!
