In June 2011, Leukemia and Lymphoma Foundation conducted a survey amongst our beneficiaries and their family members to find out the type of activities, talks and/or
workshops which they would be interested to participate in. The most asked for
was talks by doctors / nutritionists. After much planning and arrangements, we
are proud to say that Leukemia and Lymphoma Foundation will be holding a Dinner
& Beneficiaries’ Support Session on 22 November 2011, Tuesday, from 630pm
to 9pm, @ Novena Medical Centre #10-24 Conference Room.
