Leukaemia Matters winter 2018/19 edition - Leukaemia Care charity activities, community news and patient stories

[HAIRBEAR_UK]

Leukaemia Matters is a patient magazine published four times a year.

'It’s been a busy year for Leukaemia Care, highlighted by the success of our Spot Leukaemia campaign, which reached over 125 million people and helped to educate them on the symptoms of leukaemia.

However, we also sadly lost two members of the Leukaemia Care team

this year: Ann Ashley, a long-standing previous volunteer and trustee, and Zelma Roberts (known to many as Zelma Hunt), Care and Support Advisor at Leukaemia Care. I would like to extend my heartfelt condolences to their loved ones. You can read more about the important contributions Ann and Zelma made to Leukaemia Care on pages four and five.

This issue is an online-only exclusive and is packed full of information to

help you through the winter months.

Inside you’ll find tips from both our nurse, Fiona Heath, and Patient Advocacy

Healthcare Liaison Officer and leukaemia patient, Nick York, on looking after yourself this wintertime. You can also find an informative article on the benefits of exercise for leukaemia patients.

Our cover star in this issue is Laura Mattei, who is currently in remission

from acute myeloid leukaemia (AML). She tells us about how she’s rebuilt her life after her diagnosis.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
