Cutaneous lymphomas affect thousands of people worldwide. Cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, or CTCL, affects over 30,000 people in the United States and Canada, and the incidence of CTCL is rising with approximately 3,000 new cases being diagnosed annually.
A diagnosis of – and a life with – cutaneous lymphoma is oftentimes physically and emotionally devastating. The daily quality of life of someone living with cutaneous lymphoma is often diminished due to pain, discomfort, fear and depression.
However, through donations received from generous supporters, our Foundation provides support that helps them achieve positive physical and emotional health outcomes.
Gifts received from our supporters enables us to help people living with cutaneous lymphoma access and use a daily lifeline that plays a vital role in helping them learn about and understand cutaneous lymphoma, obtain physician referrals, get a proper diagnosis, seek the right treatment plan, discover tips to help manage symptoms, get questions answered, receive emotional support, attend educational forums and so much more.
So, why give to the CLF?
Whether you give to our Annual Fund Campaign, become a sponsor, host a special event to benefit our Foundation or give in other ways, we hope that you will be inspired to give because your donation and your fundraising efforts will make a dramatic, positive impact in the lives of people affected by cutaneous lymphoma.
For some people, your support literally helps save or extend lives.
Our Foundation leadership, staff and volunteers are working diligently each day to use your contributions to deliver high-quality educational programming, offer a plethora of helpful information and resources, fund research, drive change through advocacy, facilitate scientific exchange among medical professionals, increase awareness, and provide much-needed support to people who turn to our Foundation for help each day.
