Our ambassadors
Leukaemia UK’s ambassadors are amazing people who know the impact that a blood cancer diagnosis can have. We are so grateful for their support as together we work towards stopping leukaemia devastating lives.
Saffron Vadher
Saffron was diagnosed with leukaemia just before her 4th birthday, and underwent years of chemotherapy as a child. Now a successful model working with world-renowned brands and publications, Saffron is keen to share her experience to help others who are going through cancer at a young age, or who are parents and carers for someone who is.
Play Video Dougray Scott
Actor Dougray Scott was first introduced to Leukaemia UK (formerly Leuka) when researching the role of leukaemia patient Jonathan Trevanny, for the film Ripley’s Game. He approached the then Chair of Leuka, Professor John Goldman, to learn more about the disease, and has been a keen supporter of the charity ever since. This has included hosting a “Mini Masters” golf tournament for many years, raising money that has helped accelerate much-needed progress in leukaemia research.
Francesco Mazzei
Francesco is a world-renowned Italian chef and Chef Patron of acclaimed restaurant Sartoria in central London. Francesco has taken part in Leukaemia UK’s flagship fundraising event, “Who’s Cooking Dinner?”, for many years, helping to raise vital funds for the charity. Francesco said, “I have always felt that Leukaemia UK is an incredibly important charity to support. They find and fund life-changing research that can make a real difference to save and improve the lives of those who receive this devastating diagnosis. Eight years ago I lost my father to leukaemia and so this is a cause really close to my heart.”
