Lymphoma is the most common form of blood cancer, so every September we come together to raise awareness and vital funds to support our work.

Let's talk lymphoma... to make sure no one faces lymphoma alone.

Learn more about lymphoma

Lymphoma is the 5th most common cancer in the UK, but many people have never heard of it and don't know the symptoms - you can help us change this!

What is lymphoma?

Lymphoma is a haematological cancer or blood cancer - a cancer that develops from blood cells. All lymphomas develop from types of white blood cells called lymphocytes, which are part of the immune system. Watch our animation to learn more about lymphoma.

Symptoms of lymphoma

Lymphoma can cause many different symptoms, depending on its type and where it is in your body. The most common symptoms include swollen lymph nodes, fatigue, unexplained weight loss, sweats and itching. Share this animation to spread the word.

Look back on September 2023

Your support made last year's Blood Cancer Awareness Month our biggest ever! More than 450 of you answered our call to help, including 75 hospitals.

Thanks to you, thousands of people found out more about lymphoma and over £85,000 was raised to help even more people affected by the 5th most common cancer.

To everyone who talked lymphoma with us during Blood Cancer Awareness Month, we want to say a heartfelt thank you.
