Join us April 17 for this live online program about nutrition and leukemia. Learn about the links between nutrition and the development of myeloid malignancies. Angela Fleischman, MD from University of California at Irvine will share the latest research.

It started the day she was born. Rose was diagnosed with acute megakaryoblastic leukemia (AML M7), a condition that occurs in only about one in every 2 million births and has a very low survival rate. Today she is a healthy 10-year-old with an adventurous spirit. Learn about her amazing journey of resilience and hope.

Learn the most and least common biomarkers for leukemia and MDS, and what these biomarkers tell us, when Lucy Godley, MD, PhD, joins us for "Leukemia Genetics and Biomarkers" on May 5. In this webinar, Dr. Godley, with the Robert H. Lurie Cancer Center, Northwestern Medical Group, will help us understand the role of leukemia genetics and biomarkers in navigating your cancer journey and improving outcomes.

Leukemia Research Foundation has been such a valuable resource for information and support. The mission of this organization is near and dear to my heart; finding a cure. The research that they support may one day bring an end to leukemia. So many strides have been made by this organization’s research and it gives us all the hope and strength to keep trying to do more. I hope I live to see the cure, because I know it is coming.

Since diagnosis, my husband has been through multiple treatments with various post-treatment complications. This financial assistance will allow us to pay a large portion of our medical bills and use our limited income for daily needs, like food and rent. What a relief it is to have assistance.
