Money raised will go towards research and care for people with blood cancers, something 23 Western Australians are diagnosed with every week.

St Jerome’s Primary School’s Scott Lilleyman said he was inspired to take on the challenge after seeing the effects of blood cancers first hand.

He hoped to raise a ‘good amount of money’ for the cause.
