Mission

At just two years old, Aiden was diagnosed with T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) and given only three days to live. After intense treatment—and immeasurable resilience—Aiden became known as the “miracle baby” on his hospital floor.

Now in third grade, Aiden is an active, free-spirited kid who loves travel, karate, dance, and more. He continues to be an advocate in the blood cancer community, sharing his survivor story.

Since Blood Cancer United’s inception in 1949, we’ve made tremendous strides for the blood cancer community. Some blood cancers can now be cured, and others can be managed as long-term chronic conditions. So, we measure our progress not just by cures, but by all the people who can live longer, more active lives after a blood cancer diagnosis.

We fund the most promising blood cancer research, in countries all around the world, to bring us closer to better treatments and cures.
