In thanking NIGTA for their generous support Joanne highlighted the work of the charity in supporting life-saving research into Leukaemia, Lymphoma and blood cancers here in Northern Ireland.

These cancers can be diagnosed in both children and adults and through their support of the Haematology Research Group at Queens University the charity aims to ensure that in the future people of all ages survive blood cancers.
