A Gift of Hope, Transformational Gift Will Help Accelerate Blood Cancer Research

Jim and Leslie Belardi have made a transformative gift to City of Hope, a leading research and treatment center for cancer and other life threatening diseases. This gift comes 14 years after Jim received a life-saving bone marrow transplant for leukemia at City of Hope. 
Blood cancers account for nearly 10% of new cancer cases each year in the United States, yet they are often the most difficult to treat.  The gift, representing the largest single contribution to City of Hope for blood cancer research, will support City of Hope’s Hematologic Malignancies Research Institute (HMRI). The gift is targeted at accelerating the development and approval of promising new therapies for some of the most difficult to treat blood cancers.
