How will I be making a difference?
The funds you raise will help us invest in research to:
Develop cures for those with blood cancer, now and in the future.
Improve treatment and care for those living with blood cancer today.
Prevent blood cancer from developing in the first place.
Hosting a collection at your local supermarket or sports club helps us reach many people and raise essential donations.
Every penny you collect has a significant impact:
£150 could fund a researcher to analyse 120 blood cell samples, potentially leading to a breakthrough.
£210 could help send expert patient information to all those diagnosed with blood cancer today.
£500 could fund a research nurse for three days, supporting patients during their treatment.
