What will be your legacy? Haemochromatosis UK was founded in 1991. Since then, we’ve made good progress. But we mustn’t become complacent… Over 380,000 people in the UK are at risk of iron overload. Too many people are dying of avoidable liver cancer, diabetes, heart disease or liver disease caused by genetic haemochromatosis. Too many people are living in acute pain, from joints and bones damaged by iron overload. Our vision is a world in which genetic haemochromatosis is diagnosed and treated promptly, before any damage is done. We seek a world where everyone affected by genetic haemochromatosis has access to high-quality care and the support - and the information and resources necessary to improve their quality of life. By leaving a gift in your will to Haemochromatosis UK, you’ll help us continue to fight for public awareness and timely, effective care and support for people affected by genetic haemochromatosis.
