  4. 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.

  5. Focused on Cures • 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 1960. • 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!
