The Power of 50 Walk
We did the walk
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 work as a Haematologist looking after sick patients. It's important to realise the battle patients and carers go through to reach the finishing line " the cure and the remission".
Every year the 1st Sat of March I will walk 50 kms solo to complete the walk on the same day. In 2026, I intend to start the walk from Point Gellibrand Lookout Williamstown at 6am.
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 to my fundraising campaign.
