Did you know that:

• There are 137 types of blood cancer 
• Blood cancer is the fifth most common cancer in the UK. 
• Every 14 minutes in the UK, someone is diagnosed with blood cancer or a related disorder. That’s almost 38,000 people every year. Or 104 each day. 

Here are some of the ways in which your money can help:

• £100 provides 150 hospital waiting rooms information posters
  that show the ways they can help.

• £200 ensures every single person diagnosed with blood cancer
  today is armed with vital knowledge of their disease – by sending them our high
  quality patient information booklets.

• £500 funds a nurse to provide patients help, support, and a
  hand to hold at one of our groundbreaking clinical trials for three days

• £1000 funds crucial investigation into developing less harsh
  treatments for people with blood cancer – allowing researchers to analyse the
  DNA of 40 patients.
