The year 2000 is almost here. As a child, you may have imagined the 21st century as an expanding universe of spaceships and robots. You weren’t too far off, were you? Science has allowed us to travel beyond the moon and to explore the ocean floor with remote controlled machines.

Science has also taught us much about diseases and how to treat them. As the year 2000 approaches, technology challenges us to delve deeper and deeper into molecular medicine. Advances that would have been impossible to contemplate ten or twenty years ago are now possible with new tools and procedures. The most promising researchers must be supported to make the best use of new technology, and you can help them.

You can make a difference by making a special millenium gift to the Friends of José Carreras International Leukemia Foundation’s international fellowship program. Your gift allows the brightest scientists to study potential cures for leukemia and related blood diseases. Please consider giving 2,000 for 2000: 2,000 dollars, 2,000 quarters ($500), 2,000 dimes ($200), 2,000 nickels ($100) or 2,000 pennies ($20). Your gift will help fulfill the dream of a healthy world in the 21st century and beyond.

With best wishes from,
The board and staff of the Friends

P.S. A return envelope is provided so that you can make your gift today.
