This September the Spot Leukaemia campaign returned for Blood Cancer Awareness Month. Events, awareness, fundraising, social media, support groups, and more all turned spotty to help people recognise the signs and symptoms of leukaemia.
Why? Because early diagnosis saves lives and if people can spot leukaemia they are more likely to visit their healthcare professional sooner.
So, what has happened during August and September this year?
- 6 high streets visited in the Spot Leukaemia roadshow with a combined footfall of over 50,000 people
