Leukemia Research Foundation On Blood Cancer Awareness Month

September is Blood Cancer Awareness Month and the Leukemia Research Foundation is asking for help from the community in spreading the word about leukemia, lymphoma, multiple myeloma, and myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS); blood cancers that impact more than 1.3 million people and their families in the United States today, including approximately 35,000 here in greater Chicagoland.
