We won’t stop until there is a cure for leukemia, lymphoma, myeloma, myelodysplastic syndromes and myeloproliferative neoplasms and are able to improve the quality of life of people affected by blood cancers and their families by funding life-enhancing research and providing educational resources, services and support.
In Canada, there are currently 155,593 people living with or in remission from one of the 137 types of blood cancers. Our story may have started out of a concern for leukemia research, but today, we are the largest registered charitable health agency dedicated to supporting the blood cancer community in Canada. Our focus has grown and now includes:
Funding research from bench to bedside
Rethinking how a person navigates their blood cancer experience
Providing targeted blood cancer information
Offering tools for psychological and emotional support
Empowering Canadians to take charge of their blood cancer experience through practical support and advocacy
