Our thanks also to @MikeHedgesAM for sponsoring, and to Leland and Catrin for sharing their stories.

A group of seven people pose in a meeting room holding orange Leukaemia UK campaign placards. The signs include messages such as “We demand better for those affected by leukaemia” and “Let’s reduce emergency diagnosis”. A presentation screen with the campaign branding is visible in the background.

Two people stand at the front of a meeting room holding an orange Leukaemia UK placard that reads, “Because I want better diagnosis for future patients.” Behind them, presentation screens display the Welsh and English text “Diagnosis cynharach, diagnosis gwell” and additional campaign signs are arranged on a long table.

A Leukaemia UK booklet written in Welsh is held in the foreground of a conference room. The cover features a Welsh flag and the title, “Troi uchelgais yn gynnydd i bobl â lewcemia yng Nghymru.” In the background, a speaker presents to a seated audience beneath screens displaying the message “Diagnosis cynharach, diagnosis gwell.”
