It was one of the hardest things we've ever done, but we all got through it together, with sweat, tears, blisters and a bit of sun burn. It was an absolutely amazing day, for such a special man, and I know he would of been looking down on us proudly. He definitely sent us the sunshine. I am so pleased we have managed to raise so much for your wonderful charity. I really hope it will help'. - Karina Buffy Younger Impact Fund When Buffy died her family wanted to create a lasting legacy for Buffy. The Buffy Younger Impact Fund is dedicated to improving treatment for aplastic anaemia by enabling research and clinical advancement, so that in the future no-one has to lose someone they love to this condition. In Autumn 2024, The Aplastic Anaemia Trust assembled clinicians from around the UK, and some from around the world, to put their heads together and discuss what our priorities should be in the medium to long term, to deliver real impact for patients. The charity will be publishing a Research Paper to define these priorities in 2025. The paper will include some ambitious investment opportunities designed to secure the future of aplastic anaemia research and transform our understanding of the condition. Buffy's Fund is about providing seed funding for some of these big research priorities, and enabling this small charity - the only one for people affected by aplastic anaemia in the UK - to punch above their weight and make big things happen. By raising funds to specifically fund the opportunities identified by these experts - we will secure a long-lasting legacy for Buffy.
