Cause to celebrate
By choosing to donate your birthday, anniversary or wedding, or celebrating being in remission, you are doing a truly wonderful thing – helping to support others who are affected by lymphoma. We really can’t thank you enough.

I was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma when I was 24 years old and had chemotherapy and radiotherapy. I had convinced myself I wouldn’t see my 40th birthday and so - being well now that I have reached my 40th milestone - I wanted to use my celebration to help others who need support.

When people know how much it means to you, you’ll be amazed how happy they are to mark your special occasion with a gift to Lymphoma Action, and help those affected by lymphoma.
I decided to donate my birthday by setting up a Facebook fundraising page when I was going through treatment, having used some of Lymphoma Action’s groups and support and knowing first-hand how much they help people and families. After being told I was in remission, I decided to celebrate with a party to raise funds for Lymphoma Action as well. I really want to give something back and tell people about lymphoma and the Charity.
