About the LLSC
We won’t stop until there is a cure for leukemia, lymphoma, myeloma, myelodysplastic syndromes and myeloproliferative neoplasms and are able to improve the quality of life of people affected by blood cancers and their families by funding life-enhancing research and providing educational resources, services and support.
What we do
In Canada, there are currently 155,593 people living with or in remission from one of the 137 types of blood cancers. Our story may have started out of a concern for leukemia research, but today, we are the largest registered charitable health agency dedicated to supporting the blood cancer community in Canada. Our focus has grown and now includes:
- Funding research from bench to bedside
- Rethinking how a person navigates their blood cancer experience
- Providing targeted blood cancer information
- Offering tools for psychological and emotional support
- Empowering Canadians to take charge of their blood cancer experience through practical support and advocacy
