My friend's son was diagnosed with a rare form of bone marrow failure called aplastic anaemia in December 2025.

In people with aplastic anaemia, the bone marrow fails to produce enough of all three types of blood cells – red, white and platelets.
Aplastic anaemia treatment is very similar to the treatment someone might have for leukaemia - but because it's so rare, families often don't have access to the same information and support.

He is due to have his bone marrow transplant in February and we wanted to support The Aplastic Anaemia Trust, the only charity in the UK dedicated to supporting people affected by aplastic anaemia and funding research into this rare form of bone marrow failure.

By donation you'll be....

Providing support
The Aplastic Anaemia Trust make sure that no one affected by aplastic anaemia feels alone. They provide informed and caring support, they provide community. They make sure there is always some one on the end of the phone. Having someone to talk to who understands, who you don't have to explain your condition to again and again.

Funding Research
In December 2024, the news came out that a clinical trial that The AAT is funding is showing promising results with a brand new treatment for AA.

In 2025 they published a paper setting out the current priorities for clinical research in aplastic anaemia. Those priorities will require The AAT to raise more money for research than they've have ever raised before.
