TV presenter Andrew Hayden-Smith has been announced as Leukaemia CARE's new celebrity awareness ambassador.

Hayden-Smith, whose father was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukaemia (AML) in July 2014, said 'I've witnessed first-hand just how important it is to have charities like Leukaemia CARE on hand to offer support when people need it most. By becoming an ambassador, I aim to raise awareness for the charity and to spread the word about spotting the symptoms of blood cancer sooner, which are often confused for other illnesses, in the hope that it might save others'.
