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.

We’re inviting everyone – young, old, able-bodied and those with disabilities, to cartwheel or perform a similar joyful movement, in any way they can.
Share your cartwheel – or best attempt at one! – and encourage others to join in and donate via our Justgiving page or text CARTWHEEL to 70450 to donate £8 and support the 8 people diagnosed with AML daily in the UK.
Together we can cartwheel for a cure and fund life-changing research.
Every family in the UK will be touched by cancer. Investing in innovative leukaemia research will not only get us a step closer to stopping this disease from devastating lives, but has the potential to inspire new research and treatment in other cancers too.
Funding innovation
This campaign aims to raise £200,000 to fund a John Goldman Fellowship into acute myeloid leukaemia (AML).
Our prestigious John Goldman Fellowships fund cutting-edge projects, with the potential to discover new treatments options for the disease.
My commitment has been to do a cartwheel every day wherever I am and now I want people to join me, whether it’s cartwheeling or any other daily joyful movement of positivity to help raise money so others don’t have to go through what I did.
Lucy Musgrave OBE
What is acute myeloid leukaemia (AML)?
AML is a type of leukaemia, a form of blood cancer.
Every year almost 3,100 people in the UK are diagnosed with AML yet its survival rates are among the worst of any cancer type. AML is aggressive and develops quickly, so early diagnosis and treatment are essential.
Through research, we can find the better, kinder treatments so desperately needed and help stop leukaemia devastating lives.
