World Leukaemia Day on 4th September. It’s the one day of the year people from all around the world can come together to help raise awareness of leukaemia.
But this year we want to know what does leukaemia mean to you?
Does it mean living with an invisible illness every day? Or perhaps being told by others you have the 'good cancer.’
Despite the variances in leukaemia types, this World Leukaemia Day we want to come together with groups across the globe to advocate for leukaemia patients, raise awareness of the symptoms and bring together the international leukaemia community.
Share what your leukaemia diagnosis means to you today!

Leukaemia Care is a national blood cancer support charity. We are dedicated to ensuring that anyone affected by blood cancer receives the right information, advice and support.
A diagnosis of a blood cancer can have a huge impact on someone emotionally, as well as physically. We understand that feelings of shock, anger and loneliness are all common at the time of diagnosis, during treatment and recovery and having someone to talk to, as well as the right information available can be a huge comfort.
We not only support patients, but carers and families too who can often carry a lot of the emotional strain when someone they love is diagnosed with a blood cancer.
We focus on the support that is needed now to help those affected by blood cancer cope during a diagnosis and beyond.
