Blood Cancer Awareness Month 2023

Throughout the year, Know AML has been successful in delivering several cornerstone projects: our AML World Awareness Day (WAD) campaign on April 21; our Global Network and Ambassador meeting in May; the interactive ambassador workshop for Ambassadors in July – and many more projects to come.

In September 2023, we will continue to campaign, with help from our global network and community, to raise awareness of access to mental health support, its benefits, and why it is important for people with AML and their caregivers to #TalkAML with family and friends. More information, details on how to get involved, and resources can be found here. 

Know AML continues to make an impact through the delivery of its campaigns such as WAD 2023 and Blood Cancer Awareness Month (BCAM 2023).

“As a Know-AML Patient Ambassador for six years I have personally seen the tremendous change Know-AML has made for families receiving this challenging diagnosis. Medical advances have accelerated during that time, clinicians are more aware of AML specific diagnostic details and personalized medicines have been announced. But it is only with the publication of this news, and the information Know-AML has created for patients and care-givers, that so many patients and families have been helped by these helpful videos and online publications”.
