Why Get Involved?

2. Make a real difference to London patients

Support King’s College Hospital, University College London Hospital, The Royal Marsden, Great Ormond Street Hospital, and St Mary’s Hospital – helping young patients and adults battling blood cancer.

Your fundraising supports dedicated clinical research nurses at King’s College Hospital, University College London Hospital and The Royal Marsden, giving blood cancer patients access to potentially life-saving clinical trials they might not otherwise reach. At Great Ormond Street Hospital, St Mary’s Hospital and UCLH, our funding forms part of the ATICUS Network, bringing world-class paediatric blood cancer research to young patients in the city.
