  • Vision Is the Art of Seeing the Invisible.”
    Seeing the Invisible 2004 ANNUAL REPORT “Vision is the art of seeing the invisible.” Jonathan Swift Our Mission: Cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin’s disease and myeloma, and improve the quality of life of patients and their families. 2 In 1949, the de Villiers, parents who had lost a child to leukemia, were able to “see” something that existed only in their minds’ eyes: a cure for the disease that took the life of their son. Their vision grew, supported by the belief that only through research of the highest caliber would cures be found. Over the years, exceptional people have shared the de Villiers’ art — the ability to see cures for leukemia, lymphoma and myeloma that only now, more than a half century later, are increasingly visible. The vision of these people, most of them volunteers, has advanced the course of research that has led to longer and better lives for patients battling blood cancers. This year’s annual report recalls the history of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s vision and celebrates the promise that today’s research holds for blood cancer patients — the hope for a future in which cures for leukemia, lymphoma and myeloma are no longer the purview of the visionary, but are crystal clear for all to see. Dwayne Howell John Kamins President & CEO Chairman 3 Into the Light The Society is the world’s leading voluntary health organization fighting blood cancers. The size and scope of its blood cancer research programs are unparalleled in the nonprofit sector. In the mid-1940s, when the de Villiers family lost their son, Robert, to acute leukemia, the only thing known for certain about the disease was that it was fatal.
