Help me take a stand against blood cancer
17 years ago, I was diagnosed with Mantell Cell Lymphoma, an aggressive form of blood cancer.
I was forced to relocate 500k away from my home to undertake years of treatment in Brisbane. At a time when I needed my family around me the most, The Leukaemia Foundation were there. They provided accommodation for family for 2 years so they could remain close to me, they supported my sons schooling and my daughter’s university journey to help them maintain as much normality as possible in such a difficult time.
Every year I try to do my part to give back to the Leukemia Foundation so they can continue this hugely valuable support for other families.
Thanks for having your say
