On the 8th August we start our 3 Peaks Challenge in memory of our friend who sadly died in 2024 due to a rare form of bone marrow failure called aplastic anaemia. 

In 24 hours we will be attempting to climb Ben Nevis (1,344m), Scafell Pike (978m) and Snowdon (1,085m).

What is aplastic anaemia?

Aplastic Anaemia is a rare type of bone marrow failure. It's where the bone marrow stops creating all kinds of blood cells. It's really rare and affects 1 in every half a million people. 

Aplastic anaemia treatment is very similar to the treatment someone might have for leukaemia - but because it's so rare, families often don't have access to the same information and support.

The Aplastic Anaemia Trust is the only charity in the UK dedicated to supporting people affected by aplastic anaemia and funding research into this rare form of bone marrow failure.

By donation you'll be....

• Providing support. The AAT are determined that everyone diagnosed with AA in the UK should have someone to talk to - someone who really understands what they’re facing
• Funding some really exciting research, which could mean more treatment options, and a deeper understanding of why current treatments work for some people and not others

Enabling research and improving treatment for aplastic anaemia, means that in the future no-one will have to lose someone they love to this condition.

That’s why we're asking you to donate for the future of AA research and support.

Thank you for your support.
