Take blood cancers like leukemia and non-Hodgkin lymphoma. There aren’t any tests to detect these cancers early. We don’t know all the risk factors. And while we understand some of cancer’s causes, many are still waiting to be found. We hope to change that soon. My team is planning the largest research study yet to understand the links between infections and blood cancer. What we find could lead to better prevention strategies, and methods to detect those at high risk for these cancers. [We need to raise $500,000 by FRIDAY to keep this research on track. Can I count on you to step up with a gift of $10 or more today?]( [June research campaign deadline calendar]( Like many of you, for me, finding cancer’s causes and cures is personal. My dad received his cancer diagnosis just as I was finishing college. He fought incredibly hard for 18 years, but he passed away last November. I want to prevent others from going through what he went through. That’s why I’ve dedicated my career to better understanding cancer. Only research can make that possible. [HELP FUND MY STUDY]( Our study will focus on blood cancers. We believe blood cancers are a promising place to look for unknown links between infections and cancer because these cancers arise from immune system cells – the same ones that fight off infections! The best way to stop cancer is by preventing it from the start. And this research could help save countless lives. But research is expensive, especially on this scale. And the vast majority of my funding comes from donors like you, not large companies or the government. That’s why I’m asking for your help today.[This is your opportunity to play a critical role in research that aims to prevent cancer and help save lives. Help us reach this $500,000 goal with your gift of $10 or more by June 28.]( Thank you for everything you do for the American Cancer Society, and for supporting me and my team on this exciting project.
