Cancer ghosts are real. 👻

Reshmi Parameswaran, PhD, at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, is one of six researchers receiving new hairy cell leukemia research grants through HCL2030, our program with the Hairy Cell Leukemia Foundation.

Her research examines how hairy cell leukemia becomes resistant to treatment and develops new treatment strategies for its variant form, a rarer, faster-growing type of the disease.

Together, the grants will invest nearly $7 million over five years in hairy cell leukemia research.

This holiday season, give a card with a little extra meaning. ❤️

Cards from Blood Cancer United's Dare to Dream Project are here in two designs: a holiday card featuring original artwork by Penelope, a 12-year-old leukemia survivor, and our "Dream. Believe. Do. Repeat." greeting card.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved a new treatment option for select adults with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) who haven't been treated before. ❤️

If you or someone you love is facing CLL or SLL, that's one more option on the table, and one more reason for hope.

This didn't happen by chance. Years ago, we helped fund the research that taught scientists how these cancers grow, the science this treatment is built on.

Today, we're funding what comes next: ways to pair treatments like this one with others so people can stay in remission even longer.

This is what investment in science looks like. This is what collective action makes possible.

This one is worth saving.❤️

Words from someone who is in it right now. Alana is two treatments into her Hodgkin lymphoma care, with a two-year-old and a three-year-old at home and a partner carrying the load during treatment weeks.

Her first round, she pushed herself. Her second round, she rested a lot more, and it went better. So her first piece of advice is to let yourself rest on the days your body asks for it.

Her second piece of advice is to lean on the people who are carrying it with you.

And her third piece of advice is to find one small thing to look forward to on treatment day. For Alana, it's her outfit of the day.

In her words: "These little things help, but there's no way to do this besides just going through it and figuring out what works for you."

You don't have to figure it out alone.

If you are navigating a blood cancer experience, our mental wellness resources are here for you whenever you need them ⬇️

Meet our 2026 Utah Light The Night Adult Honored Hero, Emilee 🤍

Emilee Ariotti was diagnosed in the fall of 2018 with Stage 4 Diffuse Large B-Cell Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma—news that instantly changed her life.

What began as a tumor on her right o***y, discovered in late August and removed in October at 12 pounds was believed to be ovarian cancer, but was later identified as Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma. Many unexplained symptoms, including severe back pain and an enlarged, painful thyroid finally made sense. She was getting sicker by the day.

She underwent 8 rounds of intensive inpatient chemotherapy, along with additional spinal treatments, supported by a dedicated team of doctors. After five months of treatment and years of maintenance and perseverance, Emilee was declared cancer-free—an outcome she describes as nothing short of a miracle.

Today, Emilee is a devoted wife and mother who cherishes every moment with her husband and daughter. She loves being a hairstylist/lash artist, crafting, traveling, baking, watching her daughter perform on stage and play soccer. She also enjoys serving in her community and church. Her faith carried her through her journey, and she remains deeply grateful for the research, care, and support that made her recovery possible.

Emilee, thank you for sharing your story with us. We’re so grateful to have you as this year’s Adult Honored Hero and to walk alongside you at Light The Night.

If you would like to be part of Light the Night this year, we would love to have you join us on October 8 at Sugar House Park. 🤍 💛 ❤️

Introducing our Dare to Dream Honored Hero, Charlie. ❤️

Charlie was diagnosed with B-Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia at the age of 2. After 2.5 years of chemotherapy, he rang the bell and is now making friends in Kindergarten, playing on a community soccer team, and learning how to read. Throughout the difficult days of treatment, he often told his parents that Spider-Man was in his port fighting off the "cancer bad guys" and that's why he was so strong.

Charlie's experience reminds us why we dare to dream of a future with safer treatments, stronger support, and real hope for kids with blood cancer.

Your donation will go directly toward The Dare to Dream Project, helping transform treatment and care for kids and families. 🫶

✨ Meet our 2026 Utah Light The Night Pediatric Honored Hero: Krew ✨

“Hi, my name is Krew. I’m 11 years old, the son of Kevin & Becky, and younger brother to Brynlee, Ryker, & Tripp.

Just two weeks before my 10th birthday, I was diagnosed with B-Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL). Our world changed overnight. Within days, I began chemotherapy, and now—20 long months later—I’ve entered the Maintenance phase of treatment and looking forward to the end of treatment.

I love football and all things WWE, but for now I have to cheer from the sidelines until my treatment is done. Even though I can’t play, I keep my head up and inspire others by staying positive through it all.

Most of all, I love my family, my friends, and Jesus, who all give me strength every single day.

Keep Fighting. Have Hope. Share Your Light.”

We are so honored to walk alongside Krew and his family this year. Krew, thank you for sharing your story and reminding all of us what strength and resilience truly look like.

Whether you’ve been personally impacted by cancer or simply want to support those who have, we’d love to have you join us at Light The Night on October 8 at Sugar House Park, link in bio to register—together, we bring light to the darkness of cancer.
