"The Aplastic Anaemia Trust is the only charity in the UK focused on aplastic anaemia, a rare life-threatening auto-immune disease that stops the bone marrow from producing blood.
We fund research to improve treatment, provide expert information, and work tirelessly, at grassroots level, to support every aplastic anaemia patient and their loved ones. We bring failed bone marrow back to life!
Aplastic Anaemia is a rare type of bone marrow failure. It's where the bone marrow stops creating all kinds of blood cells. It's really rare and affects 1 in every half a million people.
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.
By fundraising you'll be....
Funding Research -This year The AAT will be investigating new treatment options, that could offer hope to more people, and improve quality of life for patients and their families.
Providing support -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. The AAT hotline ensures no one is alone."
