The David May Koeppel Memorial Fund

In Remembrance of Our:
Husband, Brother & Lifelong Friend

June 18, 2024

On June 18th, 2024, our beloved David was taken from us far too soon by the scourge of leukemia. It was shortly after our loss that we realized David's passing could not be in vain. Thus, we, as a charity, marshaled our resources and created The David May Koeppel Memorial Fund. David's lifetime of generosity and grace will forever motivate us to work to end the hold leukemia has on far too many.

Every 3 seconds, someone in America gets a call from their doctor, they get that call from their doctor. The call David got last summer. "You have leukemia".

​

Despite incredible recent advancements in medicine, leukemia still takes 24,000 people from their loved ones every year. David was the picture of health and received the best care there is, and yet still lost his battle in a most-cruelly-brief period of time.

​

And now the struggle for our charity. The work begins with the creation of The David May Koeppel Memorial Fund. 

​

The dedication of massive financial and intellectual resources is how polio was cured. It's why AIDS is no longer a death sentence. And, its how a vaccine for COVID was developed in record time saving the lives of countless millions.

​

So it must also be with leukemia and other forms of cancer.

 

Thus, the journey begins...​​

It Starts With You 
(and Me and Everyone of Us)

The best way to accomplish a goal is to dedicate all the time and resources you can to achieving your goal. To that end, none of the founders or executives associated with The David May Koeppel Memorial Fund is paid. Not a nickel. That allows us to deploy the maximum resources to eradicate leukemia forever.

​

Donate now to our cause. Leukemia has forever changed my life and the lives of David's family and friends. Help us do what we can to bring us closer to the day when leukemia is rendered powerless and relegated to history.
