Cancer survivor donates $20M to U-Kansas hospital
Richard Bloch, a founder of Kansas City, Mo.-based H&R Block Inc., was diagnosed in 1978 with terminal lung cancer but survived until 2004, when he died of heart failure.
Annette Bloch said she hoped the donation would help get the Kansas Cancer Center designated as a National Cancer Institute. The cancer center, which is blended with the hospital’s cancer program, would then be able to attract more grants, clinical trials and research programs.
