Take on your own Walk of Light 28th March 2026 We walk to shine a light on blood cancer

You can help bring blood cancer out of the shadows

On 28th March 2026 thousands of people across the country will be taking on their own Walk of Light to raise funds for vital blood cancer research. As the sun sets, we will walk together to shine a light on blood cancer.

Survival for people with blood cancer in the UK is being overshadowed by similar nations and needless lives are being lost. To help shine a light on the third largest cancer killer we're asking you - our community - to come together on 28th March and take on your own Walk of Light.

We walk to shine a light on the strength of our community and what we can achieve when we come together. We walk to bring blood cancer out of the shadows. We walk to light the path for a brighter future for people living with leukaemia, lymphoma, myeloma and all blood cancers.

Because together we can be the generation to beat blood cancer.

“To our utter surprise and relief, the stem cell match was me.”

Last year, Katie found out that she was a stem cell match for her brother Lee. Thanks to Katie, Lee was able to receive life-saving treatment after being diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) aged just 35.

“We were aware that a sibling match is quite uncommon and only 30% of all people will have a match within their family! I looked at the Blood Cancer UK website numerous times after Lee's diagnosis to understand this strain of leukaemia and to help answer my questions.

Throughout the whole time, Lee never lost his sense of humour, which for those who know him is one of the main things people love about him.

Me and my fantastic work friends took part in Walk of Light together, walking 25km in Bristol. We wanted to help fund the vital research to find a cure for blood cancer, and to help my brother and other people that are given this shocking diagnosis.

If you’re thinking of signing up to Walk of Light just do it, you’ll be raising money for a wonderful charity that you or a loved one may need help from.”
