A Journey of Hope Across the Atlantic

Eight courageous children supported by LÖSEV recently visited New York City as part of the International Week for Children with Leukemia. Having completed or nearly completed their leukemia treatments, these young heroes served as ambassadors of hope, resilience, and international solidarity.
Their journey included visits to globally symbolic locations such as the United Nations headquarters, Central Park, the American Museum of Natural History, Broadway, and the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. Representing thousands of pediatric leukemia survivors, they showcased the power of unity and recovery.

Turkish Day Parade Appearance

One of the most heartfelt highlights was their participation in the Turkish Day Parade on May 17, alongside LÖSEV’s founder and Chairman, Dr. Üstün Ezer. Marching with pride, the children promoted the message: “All Children with Leukemia Are Equal.” Their appearance drew attention from Turkish-American and international communities, creating a bridge of empathy and shared purpose.
