SOS Healthcare is Shining a Light on Blood Cancer: September Is Awareness Month
September marks Blood Cancer Awareness Month, a time dedicated to raising awareness,
honoring survivors, supporting patients, and remembering loved ones lost. Blood cancers—like
leukemia, lymphoma, and myeloma—affect more than 1.6 million Americans, with someone in
the U.S. being diagnosed roughly every three minutes.
Despite medical advances, many forms of blood cancer still have no known prevention. That’s
why awareness and education are so vital. Whether it’s by donating blood, joining a bone
marrow registry, fundraising, or simply sharing resources, every action helps.
This month, let’s celebrate the courage of those fighting these diseases, amplify the voices of
caregivers and families, and commit to continued research and support. Every drop of awareness
adds up to hope.
Know the signs. Support the science. Stand with survivors.
