“In 2022, CLRA received a generous donation from G.P. a Palisades, NY school teacher in honor of her 12-year-old student, R.I., who lost his battle against Leukemia. There are no words to express our deepest sympathy and compassion to R.I.’s family, friends, fellow students, and Ms. G.P. who referred to him as a shining star in all their lives. These are stories we do not want to hear, but still, happen. We cannot thank R’s teacher and all constituents of Children’s Leukemia Research in helping us fight this insidious disease through funding scientific research grants and patient financial assistance.”
