We’re calling on the Government to count us in

Right now, 1 in 4 people with leukaemia face avoidable delays in diagnosis.

For the first time, leukaemia is recognised in the National Cancer Plan. That recognition matters. But it’s only the first step. Action is what saves lives. We’re calling on the Government to act.

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.
