We will also be donating to Hemophagocytic Lymphohistocytosis (HLH) research to help find a cure.

We are deeply grateful.
We just received this in the mail and wanted to take a moment to thank everyone who helped make this possible. Your generosity and support have led to a meaningful donation to the National Institutes of Health (NIH).

This contribution will directly support the groundbreaking work being done in Dr. Joseph Rocco’s lab, a leading center in the research and treatment of Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis (HLH). Dr. Rocco is internationally recognized for his dedication to finding a cure, and it was an honor to meet him and witness his unwavering commitment firsthand. This donation is more than just funding it’s a step forward in the fight to eradicate this devastating disease. We would once again like to thank Doctor Alexandru Kimel for making this introduction to Dr. Rocco and the NIH.

Thank you everyone for standing with us and honoring the memory of Michael Arthur Russo.
