The Leukemia Clinical Research Foundation was founded in 1987 by a group of individuals to honor a husband, a business partner, and a patient. Since the beginning, the Foundation has provided grants to research institutions, organizations, and individual research doctors – many of which were foreign research assistants working under the supervision of a leading research doctor here in the United States.

Once these research doctors completed their tenure here in this country, they returned to their home country and research hospitals to practice the techniques and methodologies they learned while here in the United States which allows for a consistent research practice throughput the world.

Research doctors throughout the world have one goal in mind which is to improve the survival rate for patients that are suffering from leukemia related diseases and ultimately to cure these devastating cancers. To have all research being conducted under a single set of classifications was the goal of the World Health Organization when it gathered world leading researchers together several years ago to publish a single set of leukemia research guidelines or classifications. The Leukemia Clinical Research Foundation proudly supported this endeavor by the WHO.

In the past 20 years, The Leukemia Clinical Research Foundation has provided grants more than $9,000,000 to doctors, research institutions and organizations to improve the lives of individuals that suffer from leukemia and in the hopes of ultimately finding a cure for this disease.
