THE LEUKEMIA & LYMPHOMA SOCIETY Overview
The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) is the world’s largest voluntary health organiza>on dedicated to funding blood cancer research and providing educa>on and pa>ents services. The LLS mission is to cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin’s disease, and myeloma, and to improve the quality of life of pa>ents and their families.
Finding a Cure
v Since the first funding in1954, The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society has allocated more than $814 million to research, approximately $76.6 million in fiscal year 2011 alone.
v LLS made 7.1 million contacts with pa>ents, caregivers and healthcare professionals in fiscal year 2011, through the Informa>on Resource Center (IRC), award winning Web site and community-‐based pa>ent service programs.
v Last year, $44 million was disbursed to pa>ents through the LLS Pa>ent Financial Aid for transporta>on, lodging and other expenses to help with the treatment to fight cancer; $930,000 provided to pa>ents in NJ. There were 48,181 Pa>ent Financial Aid recipients in 2011.
The Need is CriHcal
v Every four minutes, someone is diagnosed with a blood cancer. v Every 10 minutes, someone dies from a blood cancer. v Blood cancers are the #3 cancer killer in North America, while lung and colon cancers are
more deadly. v Leukemia causes more deaths than any other cancer among children. v Over 1 million people in the United States are living with, or are in remission from,
leukemia, Hodgkin lymphoma, non-‐Hodgkin lymphoma or myeloma.
