By volunteering to help raise funds
Are you arranging an event that could be used to raise awareness or help contribute to the association? Members have taken part in all kinds of fund raising ranging from coffee mornings, fun runs to mountain climbing.
As an association nearing the age of 50, we are keen to help fund research for the next generation of leukaemia patients and with your help hopefully we can continue to make a difference.
