Raising awareness of AML

This April we are raising awareness of acute myeloid leukaemia, a devastating disease that claims nearly 2,700 lives each year in the UK. Together we can find and fund the research that matters most to people living with blood cancer.

Our mission is to bring together the leukaemia community so we can find and fund the life-changing research that matters most. Together we can stop leukaemia devastating lives through research, awareness and advocacy.
