AML World Awareness Day

On 21st April, to mark Acute Myeloid Leukaemia (AML) World Awareness Day, we are raising awareness of the signs and symptoms of this devastating disease that claims more than 2,600 lives each year in the UK.

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.
