We are walking to support people with aplastic anaemia and PNH. 

Stuart has AA & PNH controlled with medication.

What is aplastic anaemia?
Aplastic anaemia is a rare and life threatening condition caused by the bone marrow not functioning properly.

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.

Why we're walking

"I have been very lucky to have been supported by the excellent haematology department at King's College Hospital and Royal Free.With the help of the patients forum and all the knowledgeable and caring staff who have all been amazing.Kings ongoing lead role in developing improved treatments,to becoming a world renowned hospital I believe this is a very cause to support all ages diagnosed with rare blood diseases." - Stuart

The Aplastic Anaemia Trust is 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.

More information about the walk

By donation you'll be...

• Providing support for people affected by aplastic anaemia. The AAT are determined that anyone facing a diagnosis will have someone available to talk to about it - someone who understands what they’re going through.
• Funding some really exciting research, which means a way forward towards more treatment options, and a deeper understanding of which patients will respond to which treatment.

Thank you for your support
