Why donate?
Every single penny raised and donated to Cure Leukaemia goes straight back into funding clinical trials and research, through the Trials and Acceleration Programme (TAP).
The aim of these clinical trials is to not only find better, more effective, and kinder treatments for leukaemia, but it also connect patients to potentially life-saving treatments.
With donations and funding, clinical trials can work to create better treatment for blood cancer patients.
In the UK, someone is diagnosed with blood cancer every 14 minutes.
There are currently 250,000 people living with blood cancer in the UK.
