Blood Cancer United (formerly The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society) is the largest nonprofit dedicated to creating a world without blood cancers. Since 1949, they’ve invested nearly $2 billion in groundbreaking research, pioneering many of today’s most innovative approaches.
Their mission is to cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin’s disease and myeloma, and improve the quality of life of patients and their families. By 2040, Blood Cancer United hopes to enable people with blood cancer to gain more than one million years of life. This is done by:
- Looking for the new ideas, funding the science, and bringing together the necessary elements, experts, and innovations to help accelerate progress
- Protecting access to high-quality, affordable health coverage and funding for vital research into new, better treatments
- Providing support to new and existing patients, survivors, caregivers, and healthcare professionals
- Developing and implementing novel programmatic and research efforts that focus on survivorship, caregiving, clinical trials, equitable access to care, and quality of life
