Blood Cancer United
Cure blood cancer and improve the quality of life of all patients and their families.
Blood Cancer United has a bold goal: By 2040, we will enable blood cancer patients to gain more than one million years of life. We want every patient to have more time to share with family and friends, celebrate birthdays, graduations, and weddings, enjoy children and grandchildren, build careers, and explore the world. We pursue this vision through our mission: to cure blood cancer and improve the quality of life for all patients and their families. Blood Cancer United funds lifesaving cancer research worldwide, provides free information, education, and support services to patients and caregivers, and is the voice for all blood cancer patients seeking access to quality, affordable care.
Inspired by the nurses who cared for her when she was diagnosed with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) on her 11th birthday, Imani graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing and doing her final clinical rotation on a pediatric oncology floor where she was now part of children's care team. A true full circle experience!
