Transforming Blood Cancer Care
Cure Leukaemia is dedicated to giving blood cancer patients – both adults and children – the best possible chance of survival and a brighter future. By funding world-leading clinical trial networks across the UK, we are breaking down barriers to cutting-edge treatments that would otherwise be out of reach for many patients. These trials not only provide access to potentially life-saving new therapies but also bring hope, choice, and support to families facing the toughest of challenges.
Our work ensures that pioneering research moves from the laboratory to the bedside more quickly, connecting patients with expert clinicians and innovative treatments that are changing the way blood cancer is tackled. Every trial funded represents another opportunity to improve outcomes, extend lives, and ultimately bring us closer to a cure.
Through collaboration, compassion, and a relentless commitment to progress, Cure Leukaemia is transforming the landscape of blood cancer treatment – offering patients today the hope of a tomorrow free from this devastating disease.

The Role of a Cure Leukaemia Research Nurse
There are two sides to being a Cure Leukaemia-funded Research Nurse.
The first is ‘recruiting’ patients and looking for patients to go on the trial programmes.
And the second part is looking to see which trial is better for the patient and which trial can offer a better result.
It’s important to make sure that the trial will be of a benefit to the patients, and will help to make them better and to make sure that the patients won’t feel too ill from the trial therapy.
Without Cure Leukaemia Research Nurses, clinical trials just do not happen.

Hear From Those Who Have Been Affected By Blood Cancer
If you or someone you know has been diagnosed with blood cancer, we are here to help. We understand the amount of information you receive can be overwhelming, and it may be easier to understand coming from someone who has been affected by blood cancer.
Hearing About Your Diagnosis:
Hear from Adam Claxton, who was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukaemia (AML) at 41 years old. While the word “leukaemia” was terrifying, Adam’s background in martial arts immediately kicked in. When his consultant described the cancer as “acute and aggressive,” Adam’s internal response was: “I’ve got to be even more aggressive.”
What is a Stem Cell Transplant?
Hear from Eleanor Woulfe, who was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia (ALL) at 32 years old, whilst pregnant with her first child. Eleanor received a stem cell transplant in October 2025, just 5 months after giving birth to her son Dara.
Isolation following a Stem Cell Transplant:
Hear from Jo Hawkridge, mother of Jude, who was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia (ALL) at 7 years old. Jo shares her and Jude’s experience after spending six weeks in isolation in Manchester while he received the treatment.
What is a Bone Marrow Biopsy?
Hear from Lizzie Dean, who was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukaemia (AML) at 24 years old. Lizzie credits access to clinical research for giving her options when standard treatments had failed. Lizzie describes the experience of a Bone Marrow Biopsy, after having to undergo them so frequently after treatment.
