What A Beautiful Difference One Life Can Make.

Lu's Memorial Fund

The Lauryn "Lu" Oliphant Memorial Fund was established to honor Lu's legacy by raising awareness and funding AML Research at Nationwide Children's Hospital and The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center - Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute (OSUCCC - James). Two annual fundraisers have been established: The "Rockin' to Beat Leukemia" musical event in the winter and The "Hitting the Links 4 LUkemia" golf outing in the summer.

Urgent Need for AML (Acute Myelogenous Leukemia) Research:

The National Cancer Society predicts that over 20,000 Americans will be diagnosed with AML in the next year and over 10,000 will die from AML. 
While treatment for other types of leukemia have advanced significantly over 40 years, treatment for AML has not. The good news is that ground breaking research is now underway to develop safer, more effective and more targeted treatments. And some of this life saving research is being conducted in Central Ohio at Ohio State's Comprehensive Cancer Center - James Cancer Hospital and Solove Research Institute and Nationwide Children's Hospital.

Please consider supporting our cause and raising money for AML Research.

Be Part of the Breakthrough.  ​Be Part of the Cure.

"Together, we can keep Lu's spirit alive in the fight to find a cure for AML."
Scott, Theresa and Kristin Oliphant
