250 reasons - The Blood Run

By Callan Gates

250 reasons

Our family has been significantly affected by Leukemia, my wife's (Tara) Mum passed away from it when she was 3 years old. I have seen the impact of what this crappy disease has done to our family and friends over the years- its hurts and to be honest I don't think that pain ever leaves. 

9+ Years ago my beautiful wife raised over $9,000 by shaving her head to raise further money for the study into this disease that has hurt her family. To say I was inspired was an understatement. Often hair can represent so much for a woman, so to see her do this was an amazing thing to witness!

So I thought about what I could do in order to contribute... I cant shave my head because I have no hair already, so I kept thinking about what I could do that would help to raise some funds to help.

I like ultra-trail running, I have done a few ultras before- I'm not particularly good at them (being 100kgs) but I love them none the less... 

So on June the 2nd 2022 I'm going to run from Newcastle to Sydney along the GNW trail in a single push. This will be 250km in length (maybe a little more) and climbs over 10,000+m in vertical gain. Its likely to take approx. 60+ hours and few cans of coke undoubtedly.

My goal- I want to raise $100 per km of the GNW trail totalling $25,000.

This will test me, will make me uncomfortable, will make me cry and will leave me in significant pain. However none of that even comes close to the pain that people with this terrible disease deal with on a daily basis.

So, lets have at it.. Thanks for your support!

Happy to donate! I got diagnosed with a different blood cancer called multiple myeloma three years ago at the age of 38. Terrible watching my family suffer while I got chemotherapy and stem cell transplant. Finding a cure would be fantastic, but in the meantime, Australia needs to change our food system. Get rid of junk food/processed food/ sugary snacks and carbonated drinks. We all know it's the main cause when hundreds are getting diagnosed daily. I participate in regular teams video meetings with myeloma patients under 50- Thousands of patients many under 40 years old. Thanks again for your personal sacrifice and in raising awareness.🙏

Good on you Callum; what an incredible effort and achievement. I considered Leaine my best friend through those years; she lit up a room. Everyone hung on until she had walked the room and greeted them; she had the ability to make everyone feel special. She was the 'Queen' of our group. As 'besties' we shopped, we confided, we hung out, we laughed: we were equally shocked at her diagnosis and passing. Forever in our lives, never forgotten. All glory to God for your commitment and achievement Cal and Tara; thankyou.

Hi Cal, I've walked the GNW over several years. Never more than 33km/day. I can easily picture the climbs you will be running. Particularly, the concrete fire trail climbing out of Brooklyn up past Brooklyn Dam before coming down to Jerusalem Bay. I admire what you are doing. David.
