I am embarking on a journey to walk over 100K on the Camino Portugues (from Vigo to Santiago de Compostela) in Spain, all in support of the Leukemia Research Foundation.

Whether your donation is big or small, it will make a significant impact in our search for a cure.

Together, let's take strides towards defeating leukemia and improving the lives of those affected.

I leave Chicago for Vigo on September 29 and will start my journey on October 2.

Please follow me on Facebook and Instagram for updates on my journey.

The Leukemia Research Foundation

The Leukemia Research Foundation’s mission is to cure leukemia by funding innovative research, and to support patients and families.

As the nation's largest nonprofit focused exclusively on funding leukemia research, our grants are accelerating the development of new and better treatments and an ultimate cure for leukemia.

Leukemia is a complex disease with dozens of subtypes that differ in clinical presentation and treatment response. Our grants fund a broad range of topics so researchers can investigate leukemia from every angle. For more information on our breakthroughs, visit our News page.

Through our patient-centered approach, access to leukemia experts, and nationwide partnerships, our support programs help patients and their loved ones navigate every step of the cancer journey.

Our goal is to provide leukemia patients and their families with a single and trusted source for information, education programs, and support services and connect them with other credible organizations and resources.

With more than $86M raised in support of this mission, we are on the path to finding a cure – and won’t stop until we do.
