About Cure Leukaemia

Cure Leukaemia was founded in 2003 to give blood cancer patients that had exhausted standard treatment options access to  pioneering and potentially life-saving clinical trials that are not yet available through the NHS. The charity helps finance the internationally renowned Centre for Clinical Haematology at Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham, by funding vital specialist research nurses who are essential for the running and administration of these, at times, world first trials.

In 2017, Cure Leukaemia must raise an additional £1m to fully fund the expansion of the globally significant Centre for Clinical Haematology to double the capacity of the facility. This transformational project will allow double the number of patients to be treated, clinical trials opened and research nurses employed. Over 100 jobs will be created and it will allow stem cell transplants to be performed as an outpatient for the first time. Not only will the expanded Centre immediately increase the number of lives saved but also hasten global progress towards establishing effective treatments for all blood cancers within 25 years.
