Funding like this is vital to small charities like ourselves and will ensure we can continue to provide people affected by CLL or SLL with the information and support they need, when they need it, in a form that works for them.
We are delighted to announce that we have received a grant of Β£30,000 from the Postcode Lottery Community Trust. This has been made possible by players of People's Postcode Lottery - thank you so, so much. π

You will be invited to take part in the survey in a few days - if not, check your junk folder or email [email protected]
The survey is open to everyone in the UK subscribed to CLL Support's email list with a diagnosis of CLL or SLL, whether suffering from fatigue or not.
This is a really important piece of research. Fatigue affects many people with CLL and SLL, but is often dismissed by doctors.

The CLL community have lost an amazing advocate. We send our deepest condolences to Lelia's family and friends π
Lelia really wanted the CLL Forum to flourish. We can pay no better tribute to Lelia at this time than to share the Forum's in memoriam post.
IN MEMORIAM
The @UkCllforum profoundly regrets the passing of Lelia Duley.
An amazing academic career and later on a trailblazer in CLL patient representation-activism.
She has left an eternal legacy and will be dearly missed.
Our deepest thoughts are with her family.
