Blood Cancer United

The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society is now Blood Cancer United. Join us. Blood Cancer United is an evolution—not a new beginning—that will help us meet our **bold goal: to enable patients with blood cancer to gain more than one million years of life by 2040**. With the name Blood Cancer United, we can now reach more people who need us—people affected by all 100+ types of blood cancer. Our mission is not changing. And we will continue to be a global leader in blood cancer—research, support, and advocacy. **Our bold goal** By 2040, Blood Cancer United will enable people with blood cancer to gain more than one million years of life. This means more birthdays, more graduations, more cherished moments and memories with family and friends. **Our organizational strategy: Extending and improving lives** Since we began in 1949, we’ve made tremendous strides for the blood cancer community. Some blood cancers can now be cured, and others can be managed as long-term chronic conditions. So, we measure our progress not just by cures, but by all the people who can live longer, more active lives after a blood cancer diagnosis. **Who we are** We are Blood Cancer United, and we believe everyone with blood cancer deserves a longer, better life. That’s why we are on a mission to cure blood cancer and improve the quality of life of all patients and their families. How? We fund life-saving blood cancer research around the world, provide free information and support services for patients and their families, and are the voice for those seeking access to quality, affordable, coordinated care. With your help, we have invested more than $1.8 billion in groundbreaking research supporting many of today's most innovative approaches to treatment—helping those with blood cancer not only survive but also thrive.
