Thank you!
On behalf of our extraordinary patients, we want to thank you for donating to Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago. Your gift is so much more than a donation. It’s giving a child a healthier, brighter tomorrow.
Kids deserve more.
Every family seen in Lurie Children’s Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders deserves to have cures. Tremendous strides have been made. Almost 85% of kids survive a cancer diagnosis. But almost isn’t good enough. Many families still face the reality that their child has no viable treatment options.
Those who do survive often face a lifetime of health issues due to the toxicity of currently available treatment options. They deserve more, and you can help us do so much more…
Right now, RE/MAX Suburban is challenging generous friends like you to match their $45,000 gift and triple your impact for sick kids who just want be kids. With your help, Lurie Children’s will close the gap and transform the lives of every child battling cancer or a serious blood disorder.

Ella's Story
In September 2019, Ella, then 13 months old, experienced repeat ear infections and seemed lethargic to her parents, Christina and Joe. When she began looking pale, Christina took her to their pediatrician. “We got the phone call in the middle of the night that no parent wants to get,” Christina said. Doctors in the Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders confirmed a diagnosis of a rare, aggressive form of leukemia known as acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with RAM immunophenotype. “The doctors were being as compassionate but direct as possible. It was devastating,” Christina said. “The words I remember were ‘difficult to treat, very rare, very poor prognosis.’”
After several rounds of chemotherapy, Dr. Sonali Chaudhury and Ella’s family decided on a highly personalized treatment to maximize her chances of survival with the least possible toxicity.”
Ella has now been in remission for three years and is the longest-known survivor of her AML subtype. Give today to provide the support that kids like Ella need, and help other childhood cancer survivors thrive.
