Donate to help keep more families together
The facts
This year, over 15,000 lives will be lost to blood cancer. That means thousands of mums, sons, dads, grandparents, step-mum’s and daughters will be affected by the toll of blood cancer. It also means these families won’t get to be together this Christmas.
But, there is still hope. Blood cancer research that is being conducted right now is creating new, ground-breaking treatments that are saving the lives of those we love. But we need your help to accelerate research that brings hope and helps keep families together.
Alyssa's story
Alyssa, at just age 12, was diagnosed with acute T-cell lymphoblastic leukaemia, a type of blood cancer that develops quickly and requires immediate treatment. After going through the usual treatments for blood cancer, the doctors told her and Mum, Kiona, that there was nothing left to try - so they began discussions about palliative care.
Because of a brand-new clinical-trial, that took place thanks to previous Blood Cancer UK-funded research, Alyssa is now in remission and is alive today. Her family will be together this Christmas because of this new research.
This isn't every story
Without new research, families are running out of treatment options, and are losing their most precious and loved ones.
There are over 100 different types of blood cancer, and it remains a complicated, challenging disease to beat. It is only through research that we can save lives and deliver hope to families affected by blood cancer.
Donate today
We need kind people like you to help us fund research that will keep families together. Please donate today, so that we can beat blood cancer together.
How your gift can deliver hope this Christmas
Could pay for essential equipment to help researchers study blood cancer. This allows them to develop life changing drugs for people with blood cancer, helping them live longer and with fewer side effects from treatment.
Could allow researchers to analyse blood cancer cells which will help to create new treatments and improve early diagnosis, which could improve survival rates for people with blood cancer.
Could help scientists to look at genetic patterns in tumour samples, helping researchers understand how genes can play a part in the development of blood cancer, taking us closer to a cure.
Thank you for your kind support
On behalf of the entire blood cancer community, we thank you for your care and support. You are a vital part of our community, and we wouldn't be able to invest in research that keeps more families together without compassionate people like you.
