Home: Publications: Forum Archives: MFF Forum, edition 1: Lymphoma Research Foundation Merger
The Mycosis Fungoides
Foundation would like to congratulate the Lymphoma Research
Foundation of America (LRFA) and the Cure for Lymphoma Foundation
(CLF) on their recent merger. The new organization will be known
as the Lymphoma Research Foundation (LRF). This makes them the
only national organization dedicated specifically to lymphoma.
With the merger, they will be able to eliminate duplicate administrative
and program costs that will result in increased spending on lymphoma
research.
LRF will maintain offices
in Los Angeles and New York. Donna Shu, the L.A. Executive Director,
will have responsibility for all patient and professional information,
education and support programs. Suzanne Bliss, the N.Y. Executive
Director, will have responsibility for funding, advocacy and their
scientific research grant program.
The Mycosis Fungoides
Foundation looks forward to working with the LRF to provide
educational opportunities and funding for research that will lead
to cures for lymphoma in general and cutaneous T-cell lymphoma
specifically.
