Raise the profile of blood cancer
Despite being the fifth most common cancer and the third biggest cancer killer in the UK, blood cancer doesn’t receive the public profile of the other four common cancers. That’s why a big part of our strategy is to raise the profile of blood cancer, so we can reduce the harm that this lack of awareness is causing the blood cancer community.
Raise the profile, reduce the harm
