September is Blood Cancer Awareness Month

Approximately every 4 minutes, someone in the United States is diagnosed with a type of blood cancer.

Approximately every 10 minutes, someone in the US dies from a blood cancer.

Help raise awareness that a world without blood cancers can exists!

Blood cancer research is the leading edge of cancer research. It is helping reach a new understanding about the genetic makeup of the disease and how to treat it.

Here’s some proof of impact:

• Therapies developed through LLS-funded research are now showing promise in other cancers, such as breast, lung, pancreatic, prostate and ovarian cancer.
• Nearly 40% of new cancer therapies approved by the FDA between 2000 and 2014 were first approved for blood cancer patients.
• LLS-funded researchers have helped advance targeted therapies for patients with chronic myeloid leukemia and other B-cell cancers, and have received FDA approval for these therapies in just the past two years.

In support of my dad and those affected by lymphoma, please consider buying a t-shirt to show support for World Lymphoma Day on September 15. My goal is to sell 100 shirts by then. All proceeds will be donated to my fundraiser.

Every effort, BIG or SMALL (including buying a $20 shirt to raise awareness) makes a difference!
