Ellen Glesby Cohen, president and founder of the Lymphoma Research Foundation of America (LRFA), died Wednesday, Aug. 23, 2000 at age 51..

WebMagic was a strong supporter of Ellen and assisted LRFA over many years. We designed their first web site for them in 1994 and provided them with the Lymphoma.org and Lymphoma.net URLs as well as some financial support. In the mid-1990s, we launched a message forum system to support the LRFA community, and in 2002 we launch a new and improved system.

We continued to host their site until the November 2001 merger in which the Lymphoma Research Foundation of America (LRFA) and the Cure For Lymphoma Foundation (CFL) combined to become the Lymphoma Research Foundation (LRF).
