Our Mission: Our foundation was created in memory of Michelle Lunn who at the young age of 22 d

Our foundation was created in memory of Michelle Lunn who at the young age of 22 died from (ALL) acute lymphoblastic leukemia. We established this non profit 501(c)(3) tax exempt foundation in Michelle’s name to try and make a difference in the lives of those suffering from blood cancer. We raise funds and to financially help those diagnosed with a blood cancer. We also raise money to fund research projects as well as award memorial scholarships in Michelle’ memory.
