Running for Casper: Bright Futures, Clean Blood

By Richard Ellis

Share this page

I’ve taken a stand against blood cancer.

In 2016 Casper James Ellis departed this world because of leukemia. Nine years on, we remain steadfast in our commitment to growth through affirmative action. On Sunday May 18th I am going to run 53 km right here on the Central Coast. From Bateau Bay to Macmasters Beach SLSC via Tuggerah Lake.

I'm doing this in order to help the 53 Australians that will be told that they have blood cancer every day. 

I have created this page to raise awareness and 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 rigorous research into this disease. 

Please show your support by donating here or joining me for a section of the run.
