Vampire fans unite. Join the fight against blood cancers like leukemia, the most common form of cancer in children under 18 and the leading cause of death among young people under 20.
LLS is the single largest nonprofit contributor to blood cancer research-more than $814 million. And it's working!
- Since 1949 the survival rate for many blood cancers has doubled, tripled and in some cases quadrupled
- Survival rates for people under 20 with leukemia has risen from 3% to 89%
- Nearly 50% of all cancer drugs discovered over the past decade were for blood cancer patients; 5 already have been approved for patients with other cancers.
Cancer Bites is a new initiative to raise awareness and support for life saving research funded by LLS. 
Check back on updates for monthly prizes and a BIG GRAND PRIZE!

Hannah Miller
Burkitt Lymphoma Survivor
The world of art and business classes at college is a very different place from where Hannah was just a few short years ago.
At 13-years-old, Hannah was diagnosed with Burkitt lymphoma. She won the battle once and then twice, when it reoccurred. Though it was very difficult dealing with the side effects of treatment, Hannah credits the love and support of her family and friends as being invaluable in getting her through it.
Her focus these days is to finish her classes, attend graduate school, and hopefully move to Europe where she can live her dreams.
