I’ve taken a stand against blood cancer.
Today, more than 53 Australians will be told that they have blood cancer and tomorrow - another 53 families will be devastated by the same news.
I’ve set up this fundraiser in honour of my father who has bravely & inspirationally been fighting this insidious disease for more than 2 years now. Rob’s life has only been able to be prolonged over this period due to the amazing specialist treatment from his hematologist Dr Akash Karlo, in conjunction with the care & support provided by the many men & women from the RAH Cancer Centre.
My aim of this page to raise vital funds to help provide the special care that is needed to get families through a blood cancer diagnosis as well as to help fund more game-changing research into this disease.
The money I raise will help provide care for those in need right now — and it will back the brightest researchers to continue uncovering faster diagnoses and better treatments to save lives.
Please show me your support by donating to my Run for Rob fundraising campaign which will see me attempt to run the 12 Km City to Bay Fun Run on Sunday 15th of September.
