| | Support our Forget Me Not Appeal this September and help raise funds and awareness for Leukaemia Research.
 | | The forget-me-not is the symbol of Leukaemia Research.
Hilda Eastwood chose it when her family started fundraising for research after the tragic death of her daughter Susan to leukaemia in 1960. We proudly display it to this day in our logo.
Leukaemia Research is the only charity in the UK dedicated exclusively to researching blood cancers and disorders including leukaemia, Hodgkin’s and other lymphomas, and myeloma. We receive no government grants and our life-saving research depends entirely on voluntary donations. |
Thank you and good luck to all of our supporters who are fundraising and raising awareness all across the UK during our Awareness Week.
There is so much happening from collections up and down the UK including a special collection at the London Irish Rugby Club, to countless people selling our new forget-me-not pin badges and baking forget-me-not biscuits using our special cutter.
On top of all this we have Tony Audenshaw (Bob Hope in Emmerdale and long standing member of our Banana Army team) running a very special marathon of his very own in Manchester on September 13th dressed as tarzan! Find out more and sponsor Tony here.
If you are supporting our awareness week tell us now, we want to hear what you are doing!
