Here's a great example of how supporting LLS really makes a difference.

Since the first funding in 1954, the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society has awarded more than $600 million in research grants.. it was through these dollars raised and the research that was done that scientists were able to discover the life saving drug- Gleevac.

Since it’s introduction, approximately 28,000 people have been diagnosed with chronic phase CML- before Gleevac, approximately 6,600 would have died within 5 years; with Gleevac, that number has been reduced to approximately 980- that’s 5,620 lives saved and counting!!

Because the drug is available in pill form and singles out cancer cells, a patient can manage CML while living with a high quality of life.

Without support of people like you, the discovery of drugs like Gleevac would not be possible. But Gleevac is just one drug.. and we still have work to do. Thank you for your support - you’re doing something wonderful.
