Blood Cancer United

Smiling woman holding #supporter sign next to lamp with red light

As a First Connection volunteer with The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) for almost two years, I have had the opportunity to connect with patients and survivors to share their stories and experiences while battling this deadly illness. Every day I come across so many touching and courageous stories that inspire me to do more and more to support this cause.

We are Bentley University students and forming a team of walkers to join us for Light The Night, an uplifting community event. We have made it our mission to raise awareness about Light The Night and LLS by creating a social media awareness page and videos. We hope others will join us in our fight against blood cancer!
