Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Fund

Acute lymphocytic leukemia, commonly referred to as ALL and also called acute lymphoblastic leukemia, is the most common type of cancer in children. With this condition, the bone marrow developes immature cells and they do not fight infection very well. They crowd out the healthy cells, which can lead to infection, anemia, and easy bleeding. These immature cells can also spread to other parts of the body, including the brain and spinal cord.
