So how can we get the same people motivated to work for a cure?

Out of curiosity, exactly how would these people work for a cure?

It can't be money, the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society is shockingly well funded to the tune of a quarter of a billion dollars in 2012 and that's just one of the dozens of nonprofits not to mention all the leukemia research organizations. Surely you can't mean for them to drop what they are doing and get a Ph.D. and go into research?

Shared the photos and story with my wife. We both had tears running down our face. We both pictured our son as batkid. People are good.

People are good, and sometimes we don't give enough credit. :)

Amen.
