About Blood Cancers More than one million Americans currently have a blood cancer. Blood cancers are the third most fatal form of cancer. Only lung and colon cancer kill more Americans.  Every 3 minutes, someone in the U.S. is diagnosed with a blood cancer  Every 10 minutes, someone loses their battle with blood cancer Leukemia is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in children and young adults under the age of 20.

KIDS HELPING KIDS To date, LLS has invested more than $1 billion in research to advance therapies and save lives. Thanks to research and access to better treatments, survival rates for many blood cancer patients have doubled, tripled and even quadrupled since But, despite progress, more than a third of blood cancer patients still do not survive five years after their diagnosis. …THAT’S WHY WE NEED YOUR HELP! Focused on Cures
