Each year, nearly 27,000 adults and more than 2,000 children in the United States alone are diagnosed with leukemia, a cancer of the blood cells.  The Children's Leukemia Research Association, through your generous donations, is able to fund promising research which is bringing us closer to a cure.  We also provide patient aid to those people in need, both children and adults throughout the U.S., to lessen the burden on their families in meeting expenses incurred during treatment of this devastating disease.
