 Since its foundation in 1960, Blood Cancer UK has invested over £500 million in a number of different research projects which have helped improve understanding, diagnosis and treatment of blood cancers.In 1960 children diagnosed with leukaemia had a very poor chance of survival and Susan's parents were determined to make something positive come from their personal tragedy, so they started fundraising for research that would find a cure for leukaemia.Since then the charity has expanded to include over 150 branches.
