Christmas Cards

 Is it too early to mention the C word? CHRISTMAS

This year we have our very own Christmas cards. We know its early but imagine how smug you can be telling all your friends that you are already organised! The cards are really pretty. They are £3.25 for a pack of 10 and one design per pack. If anybody wanted to get one, three or thirty that’d be great!
We are looking forward to sending out Christmas wishes to our friends and family with a card that helps others and means something to us as well.
If you are interested in getting some please message us via facebook or email info@thebloomappeal.org.uk.

Llangollen Canel Walk - Aug 18

Barbara says thank you by walking the Llangollen Canel

Barbara is walking to raise money for the Bloom Appeal as a thank you to the teams who helped saved her life. Her aim is to raise enough money to contribute meaningfully to on-going research and care.
Barbara’s dog, Kiwi is also completing the walk to raise funds for her second charity, Animal Free Research UK. Barbara says, “I am painfully aware of the cost of my treatment to animal lives. I did not have the courage to refuse treatment for conscience sake but now want to help work towards a time when the use of live animals can be replaced by micro-technology and other alternatives”.

We are very happy to say that for the next year we will be supporting our local Liverpool Blood Diseases Bank for leukaemia and lymphoma research. For nearly 30 years they have collected material from patients who have kindly donated samples for research. Biobank manager, Dr Melanie Oates (pictured) said that they are thrilled by the Bloom Appeal's support as the samples they collect are currently being used in approx 20 projects in the research labs. Also pictured are some of the items required to collect and process these samples.

New lab equipment purchase

This is Jenny. Jenny is an MLA Associate Practitioner in the Immunophentoyping Lab at the Royal. Every week they receive in excess of 100 patient samples and an average of 5 slides for each sample is stored. Part of Jenny's work is preparing the slides for curating and archiving. Its a big job but the Bloom Appeal has bought Jenny a machine that will help her lots so she can spend her time helping diagnose blood malignancies. Jenny is very happy...and so are we. Thanks to all our supporters who helped us help Jen!
