About Leukaemia & Lymphoma Research
Leukaemia, lymphoma, myeloma and related blood cancers can affect anyone at any age. Today, in the UK alone, 110,000 men, women and children are living with blood cancers.
 |  | Every year 24,500 people are newly diagnosed with a blood cancer which is the main cause of cancer death in under 35s. 8,450 people have non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, the cancer that John Baker sadly died of in 1998, aged 54. |
Leukaemia & Lymphoma Research is committed to giving everyone the best chance of survival - whichever blood cancer they have and whatever age they are. We are the only charity in the UK dedicated exclusively to researching all the blood cancers and disorders with a view to improving treatments, finding cures and learning how to prevent them.
What we do: We aim to give all blood cancer patients the best chance of survival. We fund research into all blood cancers including leukaemia, Hodgkin's and other lymphomas, myeloma.
Our research programme aims to: Understand why and how cells become cancerous, improve diagnosis, develop new, less harsh treatments, find cures and prevent all cancers of the blood.
As well as funding research we provide essential patient information booklets and train expert haematologists for the future. For further details please visit our website at www.llresearch.org.uk
