Over the years it hamother & daughter (33Kb)s evolved into a network of branches covering Northumberland, Tyne & Wear, Durham, Teesside and Cumbria. The main aim is to support research into leukaemia and associated diseases for the benefit of all the people who live within the Northern Region of England.

This registered charity predominantly provides research funds for work being carried out via Newcastle University Medical School for clinical and laboratory research. The work funded is now nationally and internationally recognised as being of a very high standard. The Newcastle team has emerged as one of the most progressive and effective groups within the United Kingdom. Tremendous progress has been achieved, particularly in children’s leukaemia but much more effort is required for the more stubborn illnesses in young adults and older people.
