What disease would you cure??

Okay hey guys!! So this is another post for my class. This is a serious post.

If you could cure ONE disease what would it be?

Many of us know friends and/or family with a disease or illness that is life threatening. Your job is to become an expert about that disease (or a different one of your choice) and write a post that includes five or more facts about the disease and 1 or more things the reader could do to increase awareness, support a cure, or help individuals afflicted with the disease.
Okay so that's my assignment.
I'm going to do mine on Leukemia.
FACTS:
1)  It's a cancer that starts in your bone marrow, which is the soft, inner part of your bones.

2) Leukemic cells, if left on their own, can . . .

• engulf the bone marrow,
• enter and travel through the bloodstream, and
• attack your lymph nodes, spleen, liver and central nervous system such as the brain and spinal cord. 

3)  Persistent low grade fever and bleeding gums are some of the signs of the disease.

4) more men get diagnosed with leukemia than women. 

5)  leukemia is preventable. You just have to know what makes your immune system weak. Here are two things you might be guilty of but are not aware of: Too much sugar in your diet and spending a lot of time under the heat of the sun without any protection. Both can hurt your immune system.

The reason I did my disease on Leukemia is because my Nana was just recently diagnosed with it. It was really terrible to hear. To hear that she was dieing. My Nana and I have a special bond! So it was hard to think that possibly sometime soon she would leave me. 
So if I could cure one disease it would be this one. So that my Nana could stay a part of my life longer.
