KIDS WITHOUT CANCER (formerly Leukemia, Research, Life, Inc.)
Invite reviews
I came from Florida to attend LRL's Evening of Hope event this year. What a wonderful night. I was able to meet with the very doctors doing the actual cancer research and also met some of the childhood cancer survivors that are aligned with this charity. A very emotional and touching experience to say the least. I love this organization and will continue to support it in the future.

Leukemia Research Life is an exceptional organization which raises money for cancer research at Children's Hospital of Michigan. The organization gives back a very large percentage of their donations to cancer research, and over the years they have done a lot to fund specific cancer research projects that have undoubtedly saved many lives. I volunteer because my wife is involved in the organization, but also because I have come to appreciate the mission of the organization and have seen first-hand the dedication of the volunteers. When they show the slide show presentation at the Evening of Hope, I get tears in my eyes every time. No, it's not the largest charity that helps raise money for pediatric cancer research, but the people who volunteer for LRL do it because they want to see an end to childhood cancer. They also sponsor several other events besides the Evening of Hope, and the events are always worthwhile and fun to be involved in. If you're thinking of volunteering with LRL, you don't have to invest a lot of time... they could use the support, as much or as little as you're willing to give.

I had a great time at the incredible Evening of Hope event - my first event with this organization. The company I work for sponsors this charity and our President is also the President of this organization. Hearing the speeches from the wonderful doctors at Children's Hospital was so inspiring - and hearing the stories from the kids who survived cancer was incredibly emotional and touching. I love what this charity is doing and plan on continuing to contribute tho their cause.

My company is a sponsor of this wonderful organization. We are so pleased to be able to help fund research for finding a cure for childhood cancers. I have met many of the amazing volunteers and board members and just wish I could do more to help them - what a great mission - the eradication of childhood cancer! My greatest wish is that they are able to fulfill this mission.

I've met some of the children survivors and heard their stories. Twenty or thirty years ago some of these kids would surely not have survived but due to the research and resulting treatments survival rates are on the rise.

Our oldest son was treated for childhood leukemia two times and is a survivor. He has just celebrated 15 years of being cancer free. He is turning 23 in July. We attended the recent Evening of Hope in Michigan and it was a beautiful evening. LRL does wonderful work and we need organizations like this to continue the fight to find a cure for childhood cancer. The volunteers, board members, families of children who have cancer or who have been treated in the past all play a huge role and we truly loved the entire evening and what it represents. LRL needs to continue to be supported. Many thanks for all you offer. Elizabeth C.

Having cared for many children suffering from leukmia, I am most supportive and grateful for Leukemia, Research, Life,Inc. and the ground-breaking research that is saving children's lives. I recently attended a fund-raiser for LRL and met a mother who's son is currently receiving care and treatment because of LRL. As well I heard many other stories of survival and remission. I totally support this remarkable organization and its' mission.

What better cause than finding a cure for childhood cancer? As a nurse and volunteer myself I see far too many children suffering with life-threatening illnesses. I love LRL's mission to eradicate pediatric cancers. My brother sits on the board of directors and I know first-hand what an excellent organization this is. I'm proud to be able to donate to LRL.

LRL consists of a group of dedicated volunteers many who have remained involved for almost 30 years. This group of volunteers works very hard year round on different events with the purpose of raising money to be used toward pediatric cancer research. Why? we do this in memory of the beautiful children we have lost and in honor of the courageous children and their families who continue on through treatments, and remission and that they remain in remission. LRL plans to stay the course. We will not give up. We've seen improvements in treatment and outcomes and that keeps us going!

The family was absolutely astounded by the assistance and support they received from LRL. Originally I had heard about the organization from an old neighbor and although I never had any direct contact with them they were helpful to the people that I recommended to them. Truly an asset to the community.
