2. Make a real difference to Cambridge patients
Support Addenbrooke’s Hospital – helping young patients and adults battling blood cancer across Cambridgeshire and the East of England.
Your fundraising supports dedicated clinical research nurses at Addenbrooke’s Hospital, giving blood cancer patients across the region access to potentially life-saving clinical trials they might not otherwise reach. At Addenbrooke’s, our funding also forms part of the ATICUS Network, bringing world-class paediatric blood cancer research to young patients at one of the world’s most advanced medical campuses.
