Blood Cancer UK

We're a community dedicated to beating blood cancer by funding research and supporting those affected. Since 1960, we've invested over £500 million in blood cancer research, transforming treatments and saving lives. We fund world-class research, ensure everyone affected has access to the right support at the right time, and campaign for better treatments. We started in response to a tragedy. Susan Eastwood was diagnosed with leukaemia in 1960 at the age of just six and died just a few weeks later. Her parents, David and Hilda, were devastated, but also determined that something positive would come from their daughter’s death. They wanted to stop other people from going through what they had been through, and so they started raising money to find a cure. Blood Cancer UK is their legacy.
