Leukaemia CARE exists to provide vital care and support to all those whose lives are affected by leukaemia, lymphoma and the allied blood disorders. Our work extends to the welfare of families and carers, as well as that of patients themselves. Quite simply... 'supporting a quality of life'

Event update

Great Manchester Run
Do you know anyone who would like to take part in the BUPA Great Manchester Run? Please help Leukaemia CARE by forwarding this invitation to be part of Team Bertie at this event to any friends or running partners who you think might be up to the challenge. We have a limited number of places in the Great Manchester Run so please email the fundraising team for your entry form. The event is on 17th May and all we ask is a donation to secure your place of £40*. We ask all runners entering this run to pledge to raise £250 for Leukaemia CARE. In order to not miss out we need to have everyone's place allocated by beginning of April - so if you are interested in this opportunity please let us know and as ever please... spread the word!
*this donation is non refundable and non transferrable however this does not affect runners deferring their place.

Glasgow Events
Please let us know if you are interested in taking part in any of the many Glasgow runs - Leukaemia CARE is considering buying places but we're not sure what the demand is like. Please email the fundraising team to let us know and as ever please... spread the word!

Collecting Tins
We are running out of collecting tins and buckets because our fundraisers are not sending them back! If you have any collecting tins or buckets that you do not expect to use in the near future then please can you send them in to the Fundraising Team, Leukaemia CARE, 1 Birch Court, Blackpole East, Worcester WR3 8SG. Likewise can you pass the message on to anyone you know? Many thanks for your cooperation in keeping Leukaemia CARE's admin costs low.
