I’ve taken a stand against blood cancer.

We are at it again…

As you all may know my dad was diagnosed with Leukemia in 2021.

Fast forward to 2024 my Dad is one of the lucky ones that has beat it with a less than 10% chance of it returning.

In 2021 I signed up to do the city to surf to raise money for the leukemia foundation. Unfortunately covid stopped it that year so we went ahead and did our own COUNTRY TO SURF.

Along with some great friends we complete the 14km run/walk.

This year we will do the same thing in our local town of Ulladulla, along with anyone else that wants to jump on board and show some support.

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.
