National Blood Cancer Awareness Month


September is National Blood Cancer Awareness Month.

  • Every 3 minutes someone is diagnosed with a blood cancer.
  • 1.1 million Americans are living with (or are in remission from) a blood cancer.
  • Blood cancers are the most common of childhood cancers.
  • Almost 150,000 Americans will be diagnosed with blood cancer this year.
The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society is working harder than ever to fund cures for these diseases and to make sure that patients have access to the treatments they need. During Blood Cancer Awareness Month, please consider helping us on our mission to raise $300,000 in 30 days!

Since we began in 1949, we have invested more than $1 billion in our mission to cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin Disease and myeloma and to improve the quality of life of patients and their families.

Thank you Texas Gulf Coast TNT participants for your part in this great mission.

Go TEAM.
