Bringing a little Christmas magic to children facing cancer 💙

We were so pleased to welcome our Ambassador, TV & radio weather presenter Katerina Christodoulou, to our office.
Katerina came with some beautiful ideas about how we can make Christmas a little brighter for families whose children are undergoing cancer treatment over the festive season.
Christmas should be a time of joy, laughter and precious family moments. But for families facing childhood cancer, it can also bring worry, uncertainty and difficult emotions.
Together, we want to bring a little joy, comfort and Christmas magic to these children and their families — creating special moments they can treasure.
Thank you, Katerina, for your kindness, compassion and wonderful ideas.
Because every child deserves a little Christmas magic. 🎅

The magic has begun! MagicalTaxiTour
This morning, the magical tour taxis set off on an unforgettable journey to Disneyland Paris, giving children living with life-limiting illnesses the trip of a lifetime.
We are incredibly proud that Leukaemia Cancer Society is helping to make this very special experience possible.
For these children and their families, it’s about more than a trip — it’s about creating precious memories, sharing laughter and experiencing a little bit of magic together.
Wishing them a wonderful journey filled with smiles, dreams and Disney magic!

A CHILDHOOD SHOULD BE FILLED WITH DREAMS — NOT CANCER. 💙
Behind every diagnosis is a child who deserves to grow, laugh, play, dream and make memories.
This Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, let's raise awareness, support families and help give children the hope of more chapters.
Because every child deserves a future. 💙

💙 Today is World Leukaemia Day — and today is also Alex’s heavenly birthday. 💙
Today, we remember a very special young man, Alex, whose life was taken by leukaemia far too soon.
For Alex’s family, today carries a heartbreaking double meaning. While the world comes together to raise awareness of leukaemia and the devastating impact it has on patients and families, they are remembering and celebrating Alex on what would have been his birthday. 🎂💙
Alex’s story is a powerful reminder that behind every diagnosis is a person, a family, dreams, hopes and a future that should have been.
Alex desperately needed a matching stem-cell donor, but sadly, his match was never found.
His legacy now lives on through Alex’s Legacy — a campaign created to help give other patients the chance that Alex never had. We particularly want to encourage people from mixed heritage and ethnic minority backgrounds to consider joining the stem-cell register, because finding a match can be incredibly difficult.
Today, on World Leukaemia Day, we honour Alex not only by remembering him, but by continuing the fight he unknowingly left behind.
🎂 Happy heavenly birthday, Alex.
You may no longer be here, but you are remembered, loved and making a difference every single day.
💙 One person joining the register could one day become someone’s match. One match could save a life.
Please help us keep Alex’s legacy alive.
Join the stem-cell register. Share his story. Give someone hope.

CHILDHOOD CANCER AWARENESS MONTH 💙
Every child deserves more chapters.

More birthdays.
More school days.
More family memories.
More dreams.
More of life.

For children and young people diagnosed with blood cancer, a stem-cell transplant can sometimes offer a vital chance of survival. But finding a suitable donor isn't guaranteed.

And this is where Alex’s Legacy begins.
Alex was a young man with a mixed Greek and English heritage who was diagnosed with blood cancer. He needed a stem-cell transplant, but sadly, a matching donor could not be found.
Alex lost his life not because a donor didn't want to help, but because the right match wasn't there.

His story is one that should never be forgotten.

💙 Alex’s Legacy was created to turn his story into hope for others.
We want to encourage more people from mixed heritage and ethnic minority backgrounds to join the stem-cell register, helping to increase the chances that children, young people and adults from all backgrounds can find their lifesaving match.
Because your DNA could be the missing piece in someone else's story.
You could be the match that gives a child more chapters.
This Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, please help us continue Alex’s Legacy.
💙 Raise awareness.
💙 Share his story.
💙 Encourage someone to join the stem-cell register.
🙏 Help us give more families hope.
Alex’s story ended too soon.
His legacy can help someone else's continue.
