Helen McKenna Strength-a thon for Leukaemia.

By Helen McKenna

Share this page

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 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.

Hi Ms Helen, I pray for ongoing strength, peace and joy for you and Mr Peter. Some trust in horses and chariots but we trust in the Name of Yahweh, our Lord. I pray Mr Peter joins the 5% (permanent remission).
