Play For Blake 2024

In honour of my friend Blake

My name is Connor McDiarmid, and I am 12 years old. I am completing this fundraiser with a heavy heart and a determined spirit. 

Three years ago, I lost my dear friend Blake to leukaemia when he was just 9 years old. His passing was incredibly difficult, but it has inspired me to take action in his memory.

To honour Blake and to help others who are affected by this devastating disease, I have embarked on a mission to raise funds for the Leukaemia Foundation. This organisation plays a crucial role in providing support to those affected by leukaemia and funding essential research to find a cure.

My goal is to raise $20,000 to support this vital cause. Your sponsorship would be instrumental in helping me reach this target and make a real difference. 

Every donation, whether large or small, will contribute directly to the Leukaemia Foundation's efforts to advance research and provide care.
