ABSTRACT

In 1986, Bruce Cleland and his wife, Izzi, learned that their two-year-old daughter, Georgia, had leukemia and that the survival rate was only 55 percent.1 Like any parents, they were devastated by the news. As they immersed themselves in the world of blood cancer treatments, they learned a great deal about the disease and became deeply involved with the work of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS). After two years of treatments, Georgia’s cancer was in remission.
