BECOME A FAN ON

The Leukemia Research Foundation (LRF) was founded
in 1946 with a single mission: To conquer leukemia,
lymphoma, and myelodysplastic syndromes by funding
research into their causes and cures, and to enrich the
quality of life of those touched by these diseases.

For over 65 years, thousands of volunteers have helped the Foundation
raise more than $50 million in support of this mission. Major LRF programs
include:

Worldwide medical research - each year, it is the Foundation’s goal to
grant in excess of $1 million to medical research.

Patient financial assistance - the financial assistance and support
programs of the LRF are available to patients and families who reside
primarily within a 100-mile radius of Chicago and the state of Illinois. On
average, we provide over $250,000 per year in financial assistance.

Educational support services - for patients, family members, caregivers
and medical professionals. These conferences, including the Treatment
Options for Blood Cancer Patients Conference, the Town Hall Meeting, and
Town Hall Meeting in Spanish, are offered free of charge. They provide
opportunities for direct dialogue between patients and prominent
hematology/oncology and transplant specialists to discuss treatment
options and procedures.

commonly thought of as a childhood disease, is diagnosed ten times more
often in adults.
