Letter: Show your support and make a difference for people affected by lymphoma – now and in the future

Every 26 minutes, one of us is diagnosed with lymphoma. As the only charity in the UK dedicated to this type of blood cancer, we are asking people to support our mission to raise awareness about lymphoma, its symptoms and the support we provide – so we can help more people affected by lymphoma, sooner. 

Our recent lymphoma patient survey revealed that a third of respondents did not receive a correct first diagnosis. This needs to change. With your help, we can raise awareness about the symptoms of lymphoma through sharing our information resources with health professionals, and the wider public and encourage people to ask the question – ‘could it be lymphoma?’.  

This increased awareness will, in turn, help make sure people get the right diagnosis at the right time, are treated effectively and get the support they need at every step.

Furthermore, your support could help someone who has just been diagnosed with lymphoma, is going through treatment or is caring for a loved one living with the condition.

Your donation will help us provide people with the vital information and support they need to help them through their lymphoma diagnosis and treatment. 

Further information on how you can support us can be found at www.lymphoma-action.org.uk/appeal

Your support today, whether a single donation or a regular gift, could help people affected by lymphoma now – and drive improvements for lymphoma diagnosis, treatment and care in the future.

Yours sincerely

AMANDA HARRIS
