A.L.L & CANCER RESEARCH
 
It was Jacquie's greatest wish that the world would someday be cancer free. We know firsthand the effects that these life threatening diseases have on patients as well as us, the families, friends and loved ones. The Jacquie Hirsch For A.L.L Foundation is COMMITTED to working towards making her wish a reality, starting with Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia. In order to begin, we have teamed up with members of Roswell Park Cancer Institute and started a very special project with one of Jacquie's doctors, Eunice Wang. Dr. Wang, along with Dr. Norma Nowak, Director of the DNA Microarray and Genomics Facility at Roswell Park will be researching specific samples in an effort ultimatly to find out why patients relapse after bone-marrow transplants and why A.L.L is so difficult to treat and cure.

The Jacquie Hirsch For A.L.L Leukemia Research Fund was established at Roswell Park Cancer Institute with an initial contribution of $10,000.00 on January 13, 2009. Since that time, another $36,000 had been assigned to the fund, and, an additional $20,000 donated at a January 2010 check presentation. The purpose of this fund is to subsidize Dr. Wangs' & Dr. Nowaks' research so they can conduct multi-dimensional genomic profiling of acute leukemias characterized by MLL gene rearrangements. Our hope is to one day be able to save another patient from the pain, suffering and loss we experienced with Jacquie by finding answers to the questions that no family should ever have to ask.

Cause' when push        
        comes to shove
You taste what        
        you're made of.
You might bend,        
        till you break
Cause its all        
        you can take.
On your knees        
        you look up,
Decide you've        
        had enough.
You get mad,        
        you get strong,
Wipe your hands        
        shake it off,
THEN YOU STAND.
