LLS Woman of the Year Candidate Cynthia Viola Harris EdD

Despite progress, more than a third of blood cancer patients still do not survive event five years after their diagnosis, so more funding is needed to advance research and ensure access to help save more lives. LLS is the leading source of free blood cancer information, education and support. Major, annual fundraising campaigns include Man & Woman of the Year. As there are no means of preventing or screening for most blood cancers, we focus on finding cures. Some of the therapies first approved for blood cancer patients are now helping patients with other types of cancers and other serious diseases. Cynthia Harris Candidate for LLS Woman of the Year
