A massive thank you to everyone who helped make our Unlock the Cure Gala Dinner truly unforgettable! We’re still buzzing from the amazing energy and support in and out of the room. 💜✨

What a night! 🔓💜 Thank you to everyone who joined or supported us at the Unlock the Cure Gala, an evening filled with generosity, connection and hope. We’ve already surpassed last year’s total, raising an incredible £900,000 so far, with every pound bringing us closer to unlocking the cure.  As our CEO Emma France said last night: “‘Treatable but incurable’ has never been good enough, and it shouldn’t be. Together, we’re closing that gap faster than ever before.” That determination was echoed by Nicky Greenhalgh, Founder of the Facebook Group Living with Follicular Lymphoma, who shared her story of living with FL and reminded us all why this mission matters: “For the first time, I don’t feel alone. The Foundation and this community give me real hope that one day, we won’t have to live with this disease.” Together, this extraordinary community is helping us fund groundbreaking research, unite the world’s leading scientists, and bring new treatments to patients faster, moving closer to a future where “incurable” no longer exists.  Thank you to our sponsors: dmg media, T&P, News UK, Diageo, Universal Music Group UK, Coolr, LetterOne Thank you to Tania Bryer OBE for being the most wonderful host once again. Thank you to Kerry Ellis, whose stunning performance lit up the room and made the night even more unforgettable. 🎤✨ And a final big thank you to Nicola Mendelsohn CBE and Jess Burley for making this the great night it is.

Last week, our Global CEO Emma France represented the Follicular Lymphoma Foundation at the Milken Institute Future of Health Summit in Washington, DC. The summit brought together leaders, funders, and scientific innovators committed to shaping the future of health and accelerating progress for patients. Emma contributed to a panel led by Giselle Leung with Chris Marsh and Michael Hund, where the discussion focused on the role of venture philanthropy in de-risking early science, strengthening translational research, and building stronger pipelines for future treatments and cures. The conversations throughout the week highlighted the urgent need to improve investment pathways in rare diseases and to remove the barriers that slow down scientific progress. These themes are central to FLF’s mission. We are committed not only to funding research but to shaping the ecosystem required to cure follicular lymphoma by convening partners, investing early, encouraging intelligent experimentation, and always keeping patients at the centre. We are proud to see the FLF's mission represented on the global stage and grateful to the many collaborators and partners who continue to work with us to drive faster cures. Every connection strengthens the momentum toward a future free from follicular lymphoma.
