For over 27 years, the Lymphoma Research Foundation has been performing its dual mission to eradicate lymphoma and serve those touched by the disease. The Lymphoma Research Foundation is the nation’s largest nonprofit dedicated to fund and research lymphoma; by implementing its resources to patients and the surrounding community, lymphoma can be treated efficiently and lives can be saved. Lymphoma is the most common blood cancer, and many signs and symptoms can be mistaken for something else. The Lymphoma Research Foundation becomes very important to combat misdiagnoses and give awareness and education not only to the patients impacted, but the community around them. Young adults and adolescents are a demographic impacted by lymphoma that isn’t nearly talked about enough. These symptoms can be hard to spot for people of this age group due to the different developmental stages that they are in. By becoming more aware about the Lymphoma Research Foundation resources, there are more positive outcomes as a result.
The Lymphoma Research Foundation offers many resources for patients and community members to be educated and aware of the disease. These resources include the helpline, clinical trials, peer support, financial support, fact sheets, educational programs, the LRF’s mobile app, and webinars. These resources are catered to people across different age groups and their special needs. By recognizing that there are factors that might hinder people from receiving adequate treatment, the Lymphoma Research Foundation has created resources to assist these needs.
The focus of the Lymphoma Research Foundation is to provide exceptional education, support, research and awareness and advocacy. This helps ensure that there is health equity and creates opportunities so that every person has access to proper treatment and recovery support.
Please go to our website and message a patient, here are some patient messages that have warmed and supported our hearts and community: Deuteromy 20:4
“For the LORD your God is the one who goes with you to fight for you against your enemies to give you victory.”
We are supporting you the whole way. Keep going strong, because you will make it through stronger than ever before!
I know it’s not easy, but you can do it!
