AA voices is the area of our website where people affected by aplastic anaemia share the stories they feel are important, in their own words.
If you would like to tell your story here, please get in touch with Ellie, Comms and Fundraising Manager, by emailing [email protected],uk. We would like to hear from anyone with a personal experience of aplastic anaemia - whether you are or have been a patient yourself, or you are a friend or family member whose life has been affected. There is no minimum commitment - you might like to write regularly or just blog once!
