Raising Money For The Leukaemia Foundation

I am raising funds and awareness for The Leukaemia Foundation.

For all funds raised between now and 31 December 2024 my family will match every dollar donated up to $100,000. This means that come 1 Jan 2025 we are aiming to donate $200,000 (and more) with your generous support!

My Story:

I was diagnosed with leukaemia on 14 October 2023. Since that day it has been a rollercoaster. It started with being in ICU for a couple of weeks. I’ve now had two rounds of chemo and have a stoma bag (that we’ve named Stevie). In the next couple weeks I have surgery to remove my rectum and bowel (both have sadly deteriorated), and then following that I will have a bone marrow transplant.

There is still a fair way to go until I am cancer free, but I believe that my story ends with me surviving. It is a positive ending. I am one of the lucky ones that will kick cancer in the butt.

I have been surrounded my a huge amount of support from family and friends. But not everyone has the support that I have been fortunate enough to have as I battle blood cancer, and many rely extremely heavily on amazing foundations like The Leukaemia Foundation.

About The Leukaemia Foundation:

As a family we've decided to raise funds and awareness for The Leukaemia Foundation of Australia. Every donation can help change the future for people with blood cancer. You can help reach the day when zero lives are lost to blood cancer. Your donation will help people with blood cancer get access to better care, better treatments and better information for them.

The Leukaemia Foundation offers wraparound health services, fund leading-edge research and campaign for change alongside our community. They’re here for anyone with any blood cancer, every step of the way.

Much love
