We're a community dedicated to beating blood cancer. We do this by funding research and supporting those affected. Since 1960, we've invested over £500 million in blood cancer research, transforming treatments and saving lives. Right now, our community is funding 360 researchers and staff across the UK who are searching for the next breakthrough. The day we will beat blood cancer is now in sight and the researchers are determined to finish the job.

This is for everyone who has or is undergoing treatment for a blood cancer.  I was diagnosed with AML in 2016 and after three relapses and two bone marrow transplants I am still undergoing active treatment to try and establish remission.  Huge love and respect to all the Haematology Oncology team at Addenbrookes and Guy’s Hospital, without them I would not be here.  This is also for the amazing friends I have met along the way who have benefited from treatment.  A big shout out to all of my family and friends who support me; without them I couldn’t do this. I would also like to walk and light a lantern in memory of beautiful Ellie and her lovely family, I didn’t know her for long but I feel so grateful to have met her; she was such a strong, inspirational young lady who fought so hard but unfortunately died far too young.  I will try and raise as much money as possible whilst I still can to support the vital research that will hopefully lead to new and more targeted therapies and to ultimately improve outcomes for everyone diagnosed with a blood cancer.
