Cure Leukaemia is the national blood cancer charity in the UK (and the official charity partner of the Tour de France), and one of their primary missions is funding the national Trials Acceleration Programme (TAP). This integrated and collaborative network consists of 12 specialist research nurses in 12 of the UK's biggest cities and a facilitatory Hub based at the Centre for Clinical Haematology in Birmingham. This network enables the accelerated setup, recruitment to and delivery of pioneering blood cancer clinical trials connecting patients from a catchment area of over 20 million people with potentially life-saving treatments not currently available through standard care.
Cure Leukaemia also organizes the Tour 21 Challenge, where 25 amateur riders complete the entire Tour de France route one week ahead of the pro peloton with the goal of raising £1M for Cure Leukaemia. Tucson resident Graham Donaldson has been selected for this team in 2022 and fundraising this year will go towards supporting his commitment to the charity to raise £30,000.
