Affiliate Board
The Affiliate Board of the Leukemia Research Foundation is a group of young professionals organized to support the Foundation in its fight against leukemia. Their mission is simple: We are fighting to conquer leukemia every day.

Join us May 31st for the ABC7 Gibbons Run along Chicago's beautiful lakefront at Montrose Harbor and Lace Up for Leukemia! The event consists of a chip-timed 5K run, 3K walk, and a kids dash, followed by a party with food, refreshments, music, and partner tents.
