I’ve taken a stand against blood cancer.
In 2022 I was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukaemia (AML). I love running and have completed several marathons including the Boston Marathon. I have also completed the Overland Track several times. In late 2022, I was on the overland track and fell ill, a few weeks later I was diagnosed with AML, and the outlook was not good.
Two years of fighting this awful disease, I am now ready to take on the Overland Track again on the 15th August 2024 to raise vital funds for the Leukaemia Foundation, 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.
