Calling for Designation of September as Blood Cancer Awareness Month

Note: Thanks is due to the Lymphoma Research Foundation and the Leukemia and

Lymphoma Society for their roles in this initiative.

House Resolution 143, introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives by

Reps. Walter (R-NC) and Betsy Markey (D-CO), notes the impact that the

blood cancers have in the United States each year, and encourages greater

support for blood cancer research and education:

" (1) Supports the designation of Blood Cancer Awareness Month to enhance the

understanding of blood-related cancers, increase support for funding

research to find a cure for blood cancers,

(2) Encourage studies of the cause and prevention of blood cancers to reduce

the number of new cases, and enhance understanding of clinical trials to

boost provider and patient participation and accelerate the pace of clinical

research; encourages participation in voluntary activities to support blood

cancer research and education. "

All the best,

~ Karl
