Blood Cancer Awareness Month
Blood Cancer and CHildhood Awareness Month is held every September to raise the profile of blood cancer.
Across the month, we’ll be highlighting the reality of blood cancer as we Talk Blood Cancer, celebrating the achievements of the #CLFamily and sharing updates on how your continued support plays a vital role in bringing us closer to a cure.
What a 12 months it's been!
Here's a snapshot of what we have achieved since last Blood Cancer Awareness Month, with the support of the #CLFamily...
Blood Cancer Awareness Month Prize Draw
This September, during Blood Cancer Awareness Month, we are launching our biggest prize draw ever, with an unforgettable 5-Star South African getaway as our headline prize – with tickets starting from just a £5 donation!
Alongside the chance to win this incredible escape, there are also prizes including fine dining in London and signed memorabilia from one of the UK’s boxing greats, with even more prizes in the mix.
The more you donate, the more chances you have to win and help make a difference to blood cancer patients

Let's Talk Blood Cancer
In Blood Cancer Awareness Month, Let’s Talk Blood Cancer!
Lets Talk Blood Cancer is the Patients’ Podcast, hosted by blood cancer survivor and Cure Leukaemia Patron Adam Joyce, where you’ll hear from patients, clinicians and those doing all they can to bring us closer to a cure.
Join the #CLFamily
There are so many ways to get involved during Blood Cancer Awareness Month and fundraise to support blood cancer patients.
From afternoon teas to ugly T-shirt competitions, if you’re stuck for fundraising ideas, don’t worry, we’ve got plenty of ideas for you!
Signs & Symptoms of Blood Cancer
There are no set symptoms when it comes to blood cancer. Whether it’s leukaemia, myeloma, lymphoma, or another type of blood cancer, people can experience different signs and symptoms.
We understand that every patient’s journey is unique and that symptoms can present differently from person to person. That’s why we think it’s important to hear directly from a patient about their experience and the signs they noticed.
Symptoms can include fatigue, unexplained bruising, swollen lymph nodes, localised pain, and bleeding gums. Being aware of the early signs and symptoms is important. If you notice anything unusual or persistent, contact your GP for advice.
