Join Cure Leukaemia's fight to cure blood cancer for children like Willow

DURING BLOOD CANCER AWARENESS MONTH AND CHILDHOOD CANCER AWARENESS MONTH, JOIN FUNDRAISING EFFORTS TO HELP THOSE IMPACTED BY THE DISEASE IN BIRMINGHAM

- 

With a new blood cancer diagnosis every 27 seconds worldwide, Cure Leukaemia funds research nurses and clinical roles at blood cancer centres across the UK.

These roles provide patients with access to innovative and potentially lifesaving treatments through clinical trials.

September is a hugely significant month in the fight against blood cancer. It marks both Blood Cancer Awareness Month and Childhood Cancer Awareness Month - a time to come together, reflect, and take action in support of the thousands of people whose lives are affected every day.

Cure Leukaemia is funding world-leading networks that are changing how blood cancer patients - both adults and children - can access cutting-edge treatments through clinical trials.

HELPING PATIENTS ACROSS BIRMINGHAM

Cure Leukaemia is proud to play a vital role in supporting blood cancer patients across Birmingham. At the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, it funds a dedicated clinical research nurse who ensures patients have access to pioneering treatments and potentially lifesaving clinical trials.

Cure Leukaemia’s support also extends to young patients and their families.

The Birmingham Children's Hospital is part of The Aticus Network, a groundbreaking initiative bringing together leading centres to deliver world-class care and research opportunities.

Dr Sarah Lawson, Birmingham Children’s Hospital, said: “In Birmingham alone, one child is diagnosed with blood cancer every week.”
