UK Thalassaemia Society (Est. 1976) supports people affected by thalassaemia, a genetic blood disorder which requires lifelong blood transfusions & various other medical treatment. The charity offers support, advice, counselling & distributes information encouraging blood screening. It also organises conferences for patients & health professionals to keep them up to date on the latest treatments available.

Story

Thank you for supporting UK Thalassaemia Society (UKTS). 

Thalassaemia is a blood disorder caused when the body doesn't make enough of a protein called hemoglobin, an important part of red blood cells. 

Thalassaemia is inherited from parents; it is not contagious, or a virus acquired from blood transfusions. It is passed on equally by men and women. People with moderate and severe forms of thalassemia usually find out about their condition in childhood, since they have symptoms of severe anemia early in life. People with less severe forms of thalassemia may only find out because they are having symptoms of anemia, or maybe because a doctor finds anemia on a routine blood test or a test done for another reason.

Thanks again for supporting UKTS and my first ever Marathon!
