My Mount Eliza Run and Fun Festival
Chris CREWTHER (Mornington) (09:45): On 19 March hundreds of locals, my daughter Yasmin and I again joined the My Mount Eliza Run and Fun Festival, a fun run to raise funds to tackle multiple myeloma. It is a fantastic event to increase awareness of blood cancer and to fundraise for the Snowdome Foundation. So far over $25,000 has been raised to support research and accelerate new therapies and bring next-generation treatments to Australian blood cancer patients faster. My daughter Yasmin did the 4 kilometres with me and even raised $65 on her own. I was also on Westy’s team; he has multiple myeloma himself. Over the past three years the festival has raised over $130,000 for multiple myeloma research.
