She had died of leukemia four years before. The devastating illness was the part of the story that everyone could see. Less visible was the uncertainty, anxiety, and worry—the desperate wish for some form of support or guidance. Committed to seeing their pain transformed into hope for the next family, the Browns founded the Children’s Leukemia Foundation of Michigan (CLF). Harry and Sylvia Brown sought to honor their daughter’s memory with the vow that no one else would walk their cancer journey alone. https://www.bloodcancerfoundationmi.org/client-stories daily 0.75 2026-09-03 https://www.bloodcancerfoundationmi.org/press-kit daily 0.75 2026-09-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/691d2d44a6a50d69de4fd888/b6c7838f-98d6-497a-b972-8d40f1db1341/Blue_Horizontal_NoSlug.png Press Kit - Make it stand out Horizontal blue logo (transparent background).
