Me, Rhys (17) school captain at St Ives High School and my Dad, Laurence Hibbert, have entered the 2024 Hawksbury Canoe Classic. Its a gruelling 111km overnight paddle down the Hawksbury River from Windsor to Mooney Mooney starting on Saturday 26th October. The annual Classic raises funds for the Arrow Bone Marrow Transplant Foundation. We are doing it because we are inspired by the Foundation's important work with stem cells. Stem cell transplants (also known as bone marrow transplants) are often the last treatment option for blood cancer patients of any age. I had blood cancer as an infant but luckily did not need a transplant but it was reassuring to know this life saving option was available to me. The Foundation funds important stem cell research and also advocates for greater funding of transpant services in our wonderful public hospitals. Please please support their work by donating to this important fundraising event and we will be very grateful for your contribution too! You can read more about the work of the Arrow Foundation here:

We would be very grateful for you to share the link to this Give Now page with your friends and family. The more people who can help the better and remember, blood cancer can affect anyone at any age including infants like I was.
Thank you
Rhys and Laurence
