L5 is focused on the essential and basic needs of cancer patients. Many families are overwhelmed during a family member’s cancer treatments and need help buying food or clothes, cleaning house, or even finding a baby sitter. L5 raises and distributes funds to organizations focused on basic patient care.

The creation of the L5 line of jewelry has been a labor of love. I look at the pieces in the collection and reflect on the importance of these powerful words. I think of my patients who have survived cancer, and I remember the ones who have not, and understand, that each one of these words has a very special meaning. – Dr. Susan Newman
