About Us
Our charity was founded in 1999 to aid patients in the bone marrow transplant unit at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, MA. That program is ongoing, as is one we started at Yale New Haven Hospital in New Haven, CT in 2001. Our latest program began in December 2003 at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York City.
