Cure Leukaemia helps blood cancer patients to access pioneering drug and transplant treatments by funding a network of specialist research nurses across the UK. Without these nurses, to ensure patients are monitored and cared for, clinical trials of these new treatments would not run and patients, that have exhausted standard treatment options, would miss out on potentially lifesaving therapies. Every penny raised for Cure Leukaemia helps save lives and also hastens global progress towards the eradication of all forms of blood cancer. The previous years’ funds went towards the charity’s £1m appeal to fully fund the £3.4m expansion of the Centre for Clinical Haematology at Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham, which reopened in January 2018, and has now doubled its capacity.
