We are the only charity in the UK helping people with aplastic anaemia and funding research nationally. Aplastic anaemia is a rare and life-threatening blood disorder caused by the bone marrow not functioning properly, the bone marrow fails to produce enough of all three types of blood cells – red, white and platelets. No-one is immune to bone marrow failure – it can strike anyone, at any time, any age, of any gender, ethnicity or walk of life. Government funding available for research into rare bone marrow failures is extremely limited and we rely on donations to fund our vital work. We would not exist without your generosity. Any gift you can give will go towards supporting everyone affected by aplastic anaemia - both adult and child, now and in the future.
