More on Leukemia & Lymphoma Society
Description from Wikipedia:
The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (www.lls.org) is the world's largest voluntary health organization dedicated to funding blood cancer research, education and patient services. The Society's mission is to cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease and myeloma, and to improve the quality of life of patients and their families. The Society created the Information Resource Center (IRC) to provide the public, health professionals and patients (and their families) living with blood cancer accurate, current disease information. IRC information specialists are social workers, nurses and health educators.
Originally known as the Robert Roesler de Villiers Foundation, it was founded in New York City in 1949 by Rudolph and Antoinette de Villiers after the death of their son Robert from leukemia. The name of the organization was later changed to the Leukemia Society of America in the 1960s, and later to the The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society in 2000 to reflect the organization's focus on all types of blood cancer.
Since its founding, The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society has provided hundreds of millions of dollars for research on blood cancers and has coordinated a nationwide informational clearinghouse for medical professionals, caregivers, and patients.
The Society has 65 chapters nationwide, as well as 3 chapters in Canada. See Leukemia & Lymphoma Society of Canada. Nationwide volunteer fundraising events and activities include Team in Training (volunteers train to complete an endurance sports event while fundraising), Light The Night Walk (an evening fun walk) and School & Youth (K-12 teacher, student caring program). Each chapter also organizes its own fundraising activities.
One of the other goals of the Society outlined in its 2000-2003 Strategic Plan is Advocacy efforts to achieve its mission.
