Our aim was to raise awareness among the public, and young people in particular, that donating blood, plasma, platelets, bone marrow, umbilical cord blood, and organs can save lives; and to present this as part of our civic responsibility and a natural thing to do. Thanks to the huge momentum built up around the charity (by the general public, the media, doctors, etc.), we gradually broadened our focus to include supporting medical research and helping patients and their families, in order to have a bigger overall impact on the topics of leukaemia and blood disorders. Laurette Fugain, the charity fighting against leukaemia, is committed to the following three aims: 1- Support medical research into leukemia 2- Recruit donors (blood, platelets, bone marrow) and raise awareness on this issue 3- Help patients and their families
