Running for hope!

I’ve taken a stand against blood cancer.

I have created this page to help raise vital funds to provide care for those in need right now and for those families that go through this heartbreaking journey in the future as well as to help fund more game-changing research into this disease. 

With the loss of my father last year I have seen first hand how terribly sad and life changing this disease can be.

I am running this marathon (Perth Running Festival) in memory of him and in hope for the future that one day a cure for this terrible disease can be found.

If you are able please support me in my run which in turn will help support the blood cancer community and make a difference to families going through similar challenges.

Thank you in advance for your generosity and any donations large or small are sincerely appreciated.

In memory of my father Brendan Somers, thank you! X
