12 Hour Relay Swim for Leukaemia

By Deni Caspanello

Share this page

I’ve taken a stand against blood cancer.

I am fundraising to help the 47 Australians who will know that they have blood cancer by the end of today — and for the 47 families who will face the same devastating news tomorrow. 

I have created 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 and/or entering a relay team. 

My Achievements

Congrats! You've hit your goal!

You've fund life changing research for 3 months
