Cartwheel for a Cure: Join the movement

We’re calling on the nation to “Cartwheel for a Cure”.

Following treatment for Acute Myeloid Leukaemia (AML), Lucy Musgrave OBE began doing a cartwheel every day to celebrate life and recovery.

Now, she’s hoping to inspire you to join her by supporting this national campaign, which aims to raise £200,000 to fund vital research into kinder, more effective treatments for AML.

Our mission is to bring together the leukaemia community so we can find and fund the life-changing research that matters most. Together we can stop leukaemia devastating lives through research, awareness and advocacy.
