Ross's wish was to save others who are battling Leukaemia

After a courageous 7 year battle, on 1 February 2023, we sadly said farewell to our beloved Ross. A loving husband, father, Poppa, and friend to many. 

Forever in our hearts.

Ross's wish is to have no flowers, but rather a donation to the Leukaemia Foundation - a cause he has supported for many years. 

A special thank you to all those who have supported Ross in his battle from his doctor, William Stevenson to all the nurses on 8E and 8F at RNSH and his friends and family. 

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.

Ross's family 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 raised by his family and friends 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 for Ross by donating to this special cause.
