Hoping to meet friends from other blood cancer charities too - an important chance to raise awareness of blood cancers for those affected, and the amazing charities that support us. @BloodCancerA @BloodCancer_UK @LeukUK @LeukaemiaCareUK @CureLeukaemia and many more

On my way to today’s Blood Cancer Alliance Reception at Westminster. Thanks for the invitation @AnthonyNolan, a charity very close to my heart as I may not have been around without the stem-cell donor they found for me, and of course his incredible act of altruism.

🚨 New grants for healthcare professionals! We’re looking to fund projects that aim to make clinical trials more accessible, inclusive, and easier to understand, especially for under-served communities. Learn more and apply by 4th August 👇bloodcancer.org.uk/cip1

A big moment for people affected by blood cancer! We funded research @SCICambridge showing that metformin – a drug used to treat diabetes – could prevent acute myeloid leukaemia, an aggressive form of blood cancer. Watch this video to see why this matters 👇

We collaborated with @EgalityHealth, 8 health charities, 2 community organisations, and 8 people with lived experience to co-produce the #INVISIBLE film. It aims to raise awareness of why diversity in PPI and in health research matters for people, families, and communities.

As one of the 280,000 people in the UK living with blood cancer…and as a proud trustee of @bloodcancer_uk, I’d be grateful if you could watch and share this. 👇🏻🙏🏻

🚨Please share! #UrgentBoneMarrowforAbbie🚨 Abbie is just 24, a graduate with a bright future in fashion, but right now she's facing a huge challenge, having been diagnosed with severe aplastic anaemia. Abbie needs a stem cell transplant, but there are no matching donors for her

If you are unwell with any winter virus or COVID-19, staying at home to recover is usually the best option. Doing that also helps reduce transmission in the community. If you do need to go into an indoor setting, a well-fitting mask can help protect others around you. (1/2)

@alex_tonks @RosieSpiers24 @RoseHarrison0 @elliemac01xx My PhD thesis is still on several of these beauties somewhere!

Don’t think @RosieSpiers24 @RoseHarrison0 or @elliemac01xx will come to the office again following a 2h monologue of “back in my day, external drives looked this”. However, they now know what the save button is!

🚨PLEASE SHARE – Urgent search for donors 🚨 Natassa, aged 19, urgently needs a stem cell donor. In April she was diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukaemia, but two weeks ago this turned into acute lymphoblastic leukaemia. #NatassasMissionToRemission
