3 Peaks Challenge · 2 September 2022 to 4 September 2022 ·

The Hairy Cell Leukemia Foundation has the mission to improve outcomes for patients with hairy cell leukemia through research, by advancing knowledge about HCL among oncologists and hematologists, and by providing educational resources and comfort to patients and their families. Our organization has its roots in a volunteer patient-led group founded in the 1980s. They developed a patient network, a meaningful accomplishment during the pre-Internet era. In 2008, an international group of experts in HCL management met to discuss areas for collaboration to advance the treatment and management of HCL. They formed the Hairy Cell Leukemia Consortium with an emphasis in scientific research and established a comprehensive web site to inform patients and their physicians about HCL. These two groups ultimately merged, becoming today’s Hairy Cell Leukemia Foundation. This merger brought each organization’s core competencies of strong patient relationships and research acumen together under one umbrella, resulting in an organization positioned to move the needle in discovery and positively impact patients.

Story

In September 2021 Nick was diagnosed with Hairy Cell Leukemia. There are excellent treatments for this type of Leukemia, meaning Nick can live a very good quality of life. However, there is currently no cure. Due to the number of treatments, there is not a lot of funding for research into new treatments to hopefully cure this disease in the future. 

Nick, Jim, Jeff and Olivia have decided to take part in the 3 peaks challenge to raise money for the Hairy Cell Leukemia Foundation. 

Any donation would be wonderful. X
