Know AML, a global education and awareness initiative, is gearing up for Blood Cancer Awareness Month (BCAM) in September. The organisation provides patients and caregivers with information, resources, and support to deal with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Throughout the year, Know AML has successfully delivered several cornerstone projects, including the AML World Awareness Day campaign on April 21 and the interactive ambassador workshop in July.
This September, Know AML will continue to campaign with the help of a global network and community to raise awareness of access to mental health and wellbeing support. They are encouraging people with AML and their caregivers to #TalkAML with family and friends.
Ralph Hills, Know AML Co-chair and patient from the US, said: “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.”
Everyone can make a difference during BCAM by downloading, editing, and sharing translatable assets, following the Know AML social channels, and using the hashtags #KnowAML and #TalkAML. People can also watch and share the video stories from people with AML and HCPs as they #TalkAML.
Know AML is brought to you by Scientific Education Support (SES) in collaboration with the Acute Leukaemia Advocates Network (ALAN). It is supported by Bristol Myers Squibb and ABBVIE. For more information, please visit the Know AML website.
A highly experienced global ambassador group consisting of patients, caregivers, patient advocates, healthcare professionals, and industry representatives meets regularly to steer and guide the initiative.
Know AML is encouraging people to get involved both online and offline and to encourage others to do the same. For all press and media enquiries, please contact ses_knowaml@scientificeducationsupport.com.
