A September to Remember: Together, We Made MCL Seen!

September was an extraordinary month for the Mantle Cell Lymphoma Alliance. Throughout Blood Cancer Awareness Month and on World Lymphoma Awareness Day, our community came together to raise awareness, share stories, and put faces to a disease that too often goes unseen.

What incredible stories you shared! Throughout the month, we introduced you to patients, survivors, and caregivers who opened their lives to our community. Their stories reflected the challenges of diagnosis, the uncertainties of treatment, the hope of remission, and the strength of those who stand beside them.

Your response was remarkable. Our Two Sisters, One Mission fundraising campaign exceeded its goal, with generous matching donations helping make every gift go further. We also celebrated MCLA co-founder Kris’s birthday and Rare Cancer Day with $23 on the 23rd, showing that every contribution, large or small, matters.

To everyone who shared their story, donated, introduced someone to MCLA, or helped spread the word: thank you. You didn’t just help us raise funds. You helped us make MCL seen.

Turning Your Generosity into Action

Your donations are helping fund MCLA Compass, our new patient resource navigation tool, designed to help patients and caregivers find trustworthy information, support, and resources throughout their MCL journey. We’re excited to tell you much more about Compass soon!

The Momentum Continues

September was an important milestone, but we’re only getting started. We’ll continue sharing the faces and voices of our MCL community, building connections, and turning your generosity into meaningful resources and investments in research for patients and caregivers.

To everyone who helped make September a success, thank you. Together, we’re making MCL seen — and there are so many more stories still to tell.
