Last year your generosity helped us provide a lifeline to vulnerable myeloma patients as the pandemic forced them to shield, delayed their stem cell transplants and changed their treatments.
Now, we need your help to tackle the legacy of COVID-19.

"We are deeply concerned about the legacy that COVID-19 will leave on the lives of myeloma patients and families. Thousands of myeloma patients are experiencing symptoms and not being seen by a GP or haematologist because of the pandemic.
Even in normal times, one third of myeloma patients are diagnosed through an emergency route. Sadly, one in ten of those people will die within one month of their diagnosis due to complications or simply because their cancer was caught too late. No family should have to experience the devastation of such a short time to say goodbye.
The pandemic will only make this worse. Please support our spring appeal and give myeloma patients and families a Hopeful Future."
Laura Kerby, Myeloma UK CEO
