Make sure…

The signs and symptoms of leukaemia can be hard to recognise.

Whether you are feeling tired all the time, have infections that keep coming back, or bruising and bleeding you can’t explain. This Blood Cancer Awareness Month, we’re calling for people to spot the signs and ask their GP for a full blood count to make sure it’s nothing serious.

Make sure it's just a case of being run down

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.
