22nd of September (22/9) is World CML Day. This year’s theme is ‘Today, together. Improving access.’
The iCMLf, along with CML patients, patient organisations and the hematologists and scientists who treat CML around the world stand together. Today we raise awareness about CML, recognising what has already been achieved through breakthroughs in medicine, but also acknowledging that there are still huge challenges to meet for people living with CML. This is especially true in regions with limited access to high-quality diagnostics and therapies.
November 2017 - With our mission to improve the outcomes for patients with CML globally, part of the iCMLf's mandate is to recognise and reward outstanding achievements and contributions to the management and understanding of CML around the world. To this end the iCMLf awards three prizes each year. We welcome your ideas and input to who should receive these prestigious awards in 2018. You can nominate for one, two or all of the prizes below:
September 2018 - "Very much fun", "Great camaradie", "Wonderful spirit" - Such voices were heard many at this year's John Goldman Fun Run. In good old tradition, a group of about 40 participants started the day very early at 7 am on Sunday morning to participate in the Foundation’s annual charity Fun Run at the John Goldman Conference on CML.
September 2018 -2019 marks the 10th anniversary of the International CML Foundation. By joining Climb for a Cure: Mount Kilimanjaro 2019, you will not only celebrate this landmark anniversary with us, you will play an integral role in getting us closer to a cure for CML. Mt Kilimanjaro can be climbed. Chronic Myeloid Leukemia can be cured. You can be part of it.

October 2017 - Early in the morning at 7am, before the Sunday sessions and just a few hours before the Lisbon marathon passed by, participants of the 19th John Goldman Conference on CML – all dressed up in green ‘John Goldman Fun Run’ T-Shirts – started to run along the beautiful Estoril promenade. Despite the early hour everyone had a big smile in their faces enjoying the sea view and the sunrise.
Again this year, all this was for a good cause: by purchasing a bright green ‘iCMLf John Goldman Fund’ running T-Shirt participants supported the training of young physicians from the emerging regions.
