The Foundation

We will not give up until we cure it

For over 35 years, driven by the challenge of making leukaemia, someday, a 100 % curable disease, in the Josep Carreras Leukaemia Foundation we tirelessly impulse all kinds of projects for the benefit of patients suffering from leukaemia, lymphoma, multiple myeloma and other type of blood cancer, and science.

CURE AND QUALITY OF LIFE

Our challenge is to ensure that, one day, all cases of leukemia will be curable. While we work to achieve our dream, we also strive to minimize the side effects of the treatments.

NO PATIENT WITHOUT A DONOR

Many patients face the challenge of a bone marrow transplant. Our challenge is to ensure that everyone has a compatible donor available. 3 out of 4 people do not have a suitable donor among their immediate family members.

AN ACCOMPANIED EXPERIENCE

We strive for a better patient experience by providing accurate information, answering medical questions and queries, and offering hospitality apartments when the patient has to travel far from home to receive treatment.

A life dedicated to the fight against Leukaemia

The Josep Carreras Leukaemia Foundation was born in 1988, after the tenor’s recovery. The origin of the organization lies in the will of Josep Carreras himself, together with his family and a large group of haematology professionals, to give back to society and science the signs of affection and support received during his illness.

Patients: our reason for being

We are convinced that foundations must come before and after the welfare state. At the forefront, promoting the most pioneering research, and at the rear guard, offering greater social resources to patients.

Organization

A team committed to the same cause: to fight against leukemia. Meet our organization and its members.

Being transparent is our commitment

Accountability, transparency and audits of our work are one of our calling cards
to our members, patients and the community around us.

More than 35 years’ fighting leukaemia

“When I got sick, I always thought that if there was one chance in a million to survive, that was mine. Who would have told me that more than 35 years later we would be thousands and thousands of #imparablescontralaleukemia of the Foundation!” Josep Carreras.
