In recognition for reaching our fundraising goal of $100,000, a pediatric research grant bestowed by The Society will be denoted in honor of the team and the children fighting blood cancers.
Did you know:
Every five minutes, someone in this country is diagnosed with blood cancer?
Every nine minutes, someone loses the fight?
Leukemia is the leading cause of disease-related death among children under age 15?
Approximately 3,000 children die from a blood cancer every year?
There is so much we still need to learn. Research is the key. And research takes money.
Please consider supporting our walk! No donation is too small – or large! All donations are tax deductible. Email me to donate by check. Checks can be written out to "The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society".
Friends of Heroes hopes to raise $180,000 dollars in 2008 so that other beautiful children and families don’t have to lose someone they love to cancer. Please help us support The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s mission to work towards eradicating this horrible disease!
But more research is critically needed:
Every five minutes someone is diagnosed with blood cancer. Every ten minutes, someone dies.
Leukemia causes more deaths among children than any other cancer
More than 20,000 Americans died from lymphoma in 2006
The survival rate for myeloma is just 33 per cent
