Not long ago, the life expectancy of a child diagnosed with leukemia, cancer or blood disorders was no more than a few years. Rarely did they live to become adults. Pediatric leukemias, cancers and many blood disorders were nearly one hundred percent fatal.

Today, advances in determining the root causes of these diseases and newer medicines have led to improved treatment methodology and a brighter future for the child. Children suffering from blood disorders are living longer, almost normal lives. Many now have children of their own. More than eighty percent of those with cancer survive. In 2024, more than 1 in 1000 Americans are survivors of childhood leukemia and cancer.

It has been and continues to be the mission of the Children's Cancer & Blood Foundation to support the Division of Pediatric Hematology and Oncology at New York-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical Center. Collectively, the doctors and scientists have published over 500 peer-reviewed articles and 200 book chapters. Findings have been published in prestigious scientific journals including, Nature, Blood, Journal of Pediatrics, Thrombosis and Haemostasis, Hemophilia and Science-

With support from our donors, we can then ensure that Research and Medical Care are combined to provide HOPE for ill children and their families.
