Fundraising impact

The 2025 Norman Hunter Golf Day raised over £30,000. These funds contributed to supporting a research fellow involved in the FLAIR and STATIC clinical trials. These trials are internationally significant and focus on improving treatments for Chronic Lymphocytic Leukaemia (CLL), a type of blood cancer.

The research supported by the event is part of ongoing efforts to develop targeted therapies for CLL, with the goal of advancing towards a cure. The funds raised help maintain vital research positions and contribute to clinical studies that have global implications for CLL treatment.
