Our Mission:
The LLS Mission: To cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin’s disease and myeloma, and improve the quality of life of patients and their families.
Our Vision:
Through our three pillars, Research, Education & Support, and Policy & Advocacy, LLS is on the forefront of assisting our patients to survive their cancer diagnosis, but live full and thriving lives after they are finished with treatment.
RESEARCH: We are the largest nonprofit funder of blood cancer research, investing nearly $1.5 billion in the most pioneering science worldwide since 1949.
EDUCATION & SUPPORT: We are the leading source of free education and support for blood cancer patients and families. We provide personalized, one-on-one support, including assistance with identifying and enrolling in a clinical trial.
POLICY & ADVOCACY: With our nationwide grassroots network of more than 50,000 active online volunteers, we drive policy changes that accelerate the development of new cancer treatments and break down barriers to care.
