Late last year I decided I would like to get off the couch and to learn to run 5km.  This year I have registered for the Mackay Marina Run Half-Marathon - my first ever running event.  It has been great for my mind and body, so I would like to do good for others at the same time by supporting this year’s event beneficiary, the Leukaemia Foundation.

By fundraising we help give local families facing blood cancer the emotional and practical support they need, along with supporting the Leukaemia Foundation to invest in vital research into better treatments and cure.

Local Impact

The Leukaemia Foundation provides each year, on average, 55 Mackay families with 4,132 nights of free accommodation both in Townsville and in Brisbane.  Each family is supported for an average of 60 nights at one of the Leukaemia Foundation Villages.

Thanks for fundraising events like the Mackay Marina Run, in 2018 the Leukaemia Foundation provided $24,437.21 of financial assistance to Mackay families, helping to pay for essentials like groceries and transfers to Brisbane for vital treatment.

We now need YOUR help to ensure we can support even more local families this year.  

Please sponsor me and you’ll help me achieve so much!
