How LLSC Supports Canadians at Every Stage of Their Blood Cancer Experience
The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society of Canada (LLSC) is the single largest health agency in the country, dedicated to all blood cancers.
We fund life-saving blood cancer research across the country, and provide information and support services at no charge to people affected by the disease. To date, we’ve invested more than $40 million in research to better understand the cause of blood cancers,
develop better therapies, and improve the quality of life for those impacted.
I’m extremely proud of the important work our staff and volunteers have done to support more than 138,000 Canadians and their families throughout their cancer experience.
I often hear from the public that they’re not sure how to get involved in their community. At LLSC, every voice, every action, and every dollar we raise counts and brings us closer to a cure.
Because of our donors, we’ve built a robust paediatric cancer program and we continue to enhance many other services to help support Canadians at every stage of their blood cancer experience. Because of our volunteers, we continue to offer our peer-to-peer program that connects those diagnosed with a blood cancer with someone who has been through it before.
I’m continually inspired by our community of donors and volunteers who answer the call to give again and again. Their commitment to our mission makes us that much stronger in our pursuit to cure all blood cancers and support those affected by them. Alicia Talarico
