On April 21, 2025, Know AML will mark AML World Awareness Day and campaign with our ambassadors, global network, and community to increase awareness of acute myeloid leukemia (AML).
There is a need for education and support around the long-term physical and psychological effects of treatment for AML. Many people are unaware of the impact of AML treatment on a patient’s long-term physical and psychological health, what management and supportive medical care is available for the long-term biological effects of AML, strategies to support patients with the long-term physical and psychological effects of AML treatment, and where patients, caregivers, and families can find further information, support, and practical advice.
AML World Awareness Day on April 21, 2025, aims to educate the whole AML community and will offer accessible resources to address these gaps. For AML World Awareness Day, Know AML will develop an interactive guide and downloadable PDF about the impact of AML treatment on a patient’s long-term physical and psychological health. The interactive guide will present the information in chapters that are easy to read and absorb. We will be asking individuals from around the world to join us and help raise awareness of AML by taking part in the interactive guide and downloading the PDF. Please help spread the word and recommend it to others.
If you are short on time, you can show your support by sharing our AML World Awareness Day 2025 graphics and resources on social media using the hashtag #KnowAML.
“I’m pleased that this was chosen, certainly, something I have struggled with so raising awareness will be great.” – Anna Mamwell, Know AML ambassador and patient
“As patients, survivors, caregivers and advocates, it is our responsibility to ensure that those affected by AML are given the opportunity to raise awareness and advocate for themselves, in addition to having the resources, education and support they need to navigate life both during and beyond treatment. CancerCare is proud to collaborate with Know AML in raising awareness and providing the much-needed emotional and practical guidance to help patients and families live fuller, healthier lives.” – Christine Verini, CEO, CancerCare
