The Campaign 2 Save Lives

Leukemia is among the most aggressive and lethal forms of blood cancer. Despite dramatic advances in understanding cancer biology, there is still much work left to be done for people affected by these diseases.

The Campaign 2 Save Lives is a $5 million initiative to establish the Leukemia Translational Research Program (LTRP) at the Robert H. Lurie Comprehensive Cancer Center of Northwestern University.

The program’s goals are to:

• Provide an infrastructure to fast-track discovery and improve patient outcomes and care by opening doors to targeted and more effective treatment options
• Offer hope to people living with acute and chronic leukemias, myelodysplastic syndrome and other chronic myeloid neoplasms
• Broaden global awareness, promote the importance of stem cell cord blood donations and transplants and expand personalized care and treatment options for patients with these life-threatening cancers

Your philanthropic support will create a lasting legacy and improve the health, education and well-being of our global community for generations to come.
