September is National Blood Cancer Awareness Month and September 15th is World Lymphoma Awareness Day. To find out more, check out the Lymphoma Research Foundation (LRF).
Not only does this include the more common forms of blood cancer, but also rare cases like mantle cell lymphoma, marginal zone lymphoma, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, and chronic myelogenous leukemia.
We encourage you to help shed light on blood cancer, to spread awareness and give hope to those battling this tragic disease. According to the LRF, here’s the skinny on how you can help “Light it Red” on World Lymphoma Awareness Day.
