These inspirational stories are personal accounts of the experiences of patients, carers or fundraisers - they all have a story to tell about their experience with a blood cancer.
With a newborn baby, it was hardly surprising that Elizabeth felt exhausted. But what she initially assumed to be a normal postpartum experience turned out to be something far more serious. When her daughter was just eight weeks old, Elizabeth was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL). She shares her story here…
Beth was 18-years-old and had just started her first job, training to be a nurse. She thought her symptoms, especially her tiredness, were down to her busy schedule. But within a few months, she was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukaemia (AML). Eight years on and in remission, Beth shares her story…
Elizabeth was 27 when she first began noticing something wasn’t quite right. Over a 10 week span she had many appointments with the GP and many of her symptoms were attributed to something other than leukaemia. She shares her story from fighting for a diagnosis, to where she is now.
Marisa was a fit and healthy 18-year-old when she visited the GP to get a prescription for the contraceptive pill. Little did she know that this visit would lead to a diagnosis of chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) only a few hours later. Almost 20 years on, Marisa shares her story here…

Frankie-Ella was 15-years-old when she was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL). When she first arrived in hospital, she met a girl who told her that her hair was beautiful and that she was sorry she was going to lose it. She reminded Frankie-Ella that ‘bald is beautiful’ and that they were on their cancer journey together. This filled Frankie-Ella with hope, strength and courage and in sharing her story here, Frankie-Ella hopes to do the same for others...
