The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society is the world's largest voluntary health organization dedicated to funding blood cancer research, education and patient services. The Society's mission: Cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease and myeloma, and improve the quality of life of patients and their families. Since its founding in 1949, the Society has invested more than $550.8 million for research specifically targeting blood cancers.
The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Team In Training® is a program that provides training to run or walk marathons and half marathons or participate in triathlons and century (100-mile) bike rides. One of the Biomedical Sciences faculty members, Dr. Garrad, will be participating in a marathon in Florida this January benefiting the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.
