The main objective of the Fund is to promote research into the causes and cure of Leukaemia in Northern Ireland.  It achieves this objective by raising funds throughout Northern Ireland.

 

Leukaemia is the term used to describe a group of malignant blood disorders. They are classified on the basis of their clinical course (acute or chronic) and the affected cells, usually lymphoid or myeloid.

 

The Northern Ireland Leukaemia Research Fund (NILRF) was founded in 1963 and supports investigations into the causes of leukaemia which will lead to its eventual cure.

 

Funds are raised throughout Northern Ireland and used to promote research into Leukaemia mainly in Northern Ireland. At present NILRF is concentrating its support on projects which are investigating how normal blood is formed and the defects that occur in the various types of leukaemia.
