Gabrielle's Angel Foundation for Cancer Research was created in 1996 by Denise Rich and her family in memory of her daughter Gabrielle Rich Aouad who passed away at the age of 27 after a long and valiant struggle with acute myelogenous leukemia (AML). It was Gabrielle's wish that a foundation be created to help spare others the suffering that she endured. The mission of Gabrielle's Angel Foundation is to fund basic and clinical medical research in both conventional and integrative disciplines which focus on prevention, treatment and quality of life issues of leukemia, lymphoma and related cancers. To date, Gabrielle's Angel Foundation has awarded over $16 million in Medical Research Awards making it one of the largest non-governmental sources of grant support to blood cancer researchers in the nation.
