Who
we
are

Nicole is Chair of one of the 115 Branches and Fundraising Groups that have been the lifeblood of the charity since we started. Thirty years on from setting up the first Bromsgrove fun run, she’s still going!

Peter is one of 400 researchers currently receiving Bloodwise funding. His research project is one of 160 across the UK that are speeding up new treatments getting to patients, and offering real hope of cures.

As a member of the Nurses Network Steering Committee, Darren helps to make sure that nurses from across the UK have the opportunity to learn from each other and to share ideas about ways of working to improve blood cancer patient care.

Last year more than 2,500 inspirational fundraisers took on sporting challenges for Bloodwise. Among them was Bharat who – since losing his wife to leukaemia – has cycled from London to Paris and trekked the Great Wall of China to raise money and increase awareness among ethnic communities.

Lisa didn’t know much about blood cancer before her son, Hugo, was diagnosed with leukaemia. Now she’s helping other families as one of 130 Bloodwise Ambassadors who are making sure the voices of people affected by blood cancer are heard loud and clear.
