Spending time in nature has been shown to improve mood, decrease anxiety, and improve cognition and memory. We'd love to see your nature photos and hear how nature has improved your well-being!

Did you know that 25% of all blood donations go to cancer patients, and that nearly 100% of leukemia patients need at least one blood transfusion?
Right now only 3% of the population donates blood. Thank you to all the blood donors out there!

Every 90 minutes, someone in Michigan learns they have blood cancer. It is one of the most expensive types of cancer to treat, and some patients battle it for the rest of their lives. When families connect with BCFM, they discover they have a partner for life.
