This June, we’re putting childhood leukaemia to bed. Money raised from our kids’ nightwear range and our exclusive Tatty Teddy keyring will help us save more lives and beat childhood leukaemia.
For the first two weeks of June, Leukaemia & Lymphoma Research receive a 10% donation on every purchase of kids’ nightwear. We’ll also be selling a Tatty Teddy keyring, of which all proceeds will go to Leukaemia & Lymphoma Research’s life-saving work, which is helping put childhood leukaemia to bed.

As part of our partnership with Leukaemia & Lymphoma Research we shot our nightwear on some of the children that the charity is working so hard to help (above), take a look at the video of the shoot below:

M&S partnership with Leukaemia & Lymphoma Research
Every day a child is diagnosed with leukaemia and with that devastating news a family’s life is turned upside down. Thanks to continued investment in pioneering research, over 90% of children now survive the most common form of childhood leukaemia. But treatments are still very aggressive and can have long-lasting effects. And sadly many children still die from this terrible disease.
Leukaemia & Lymphoma Research’s goal is to ensure current treatments are as effective and safe as possible so these children can go on to live healthy, happy lives. We’ve been working with the charity over the past few years and together we are determined to put childhood leukaemia to bed by raising funds and awareness. We hope that you can help us.
What Leukaemia & Lymphoma Research does as a charity
Leukaemia & Lymphoma Research’s vision is to beat blood cancer. They are determined to save lives and make a real difference to people with, and affected by, blood cancers. They believe that we can and we will beat blood cancers by understanding their biology; improving early detection and diagnosis; developing new treatments; ensuring that patients and health professionals have the information they need and by influencing policy and informing public health issues with government, alongside the development of a community for patients.
If you’ve had an experience of leukaemia in any form and you’d like to share the reason why you think Leukaemia & Lymphoma Research is a great cause, we’d love to hear from you – please leave a comment below.

In 2009 I was told I had Hodgkin’s Lymphoma stage four at the age of 25, I had never heard of this disease and suddenly it had taken over my life. I had been unwell for a long time but never thought I had cancer, I had to endure 6 months of Chemotherapy and was given the all clear in early 2010 but within 2 months it had returned. I continued my fight with week long Chemotherapy sessions, Radiation and finally I was able to have a stem cell transplant in February 2011. This meant over four weeks in isolation and dreadful side effects but I fought and finally came home. I have now been in remission for over a year and although I am cancer free I still struggle to do normal things. But i’m alive!
I had no idea about this disease until I was fighting it so I am so grateful for Leukaemia & Lymphoma Research for promoting and helping defeat this disease. I would also like to thank Marks and Spencer’s for helping this cause get their message out and raise much needed funds.
