Partnering with the Leukemia Foundation. 

In the Illawarra region there are currently 252 patients living with a blood cancer, which can often mean many trips to Sydney to treatment centres; due to chemotherapy and weakened immune systems, public transport is not an option.

Based in Wollongong, the Leukaemia Foundation Illawarra patient transport program provides close to 300 trips to treatment facilities each year travelling over 20,000 km.

“This is an extremely important service for blood cancer patients within the Illawarra region, who are at their most vulnerable.’ says Marty Haynes, i98FM presenter.

“Last year we supported the Leukaemia Foundation patient transport program by covering all operating costs for their program in the Illawarra, and we are happy to enhance this relationship with the purchase of a brand new vehicle in 2018, plus covering all operating costs for the year.”

Nina Field, Regional Development Manager for the Leukaemia Foundation, said:

“We are excited about our continued partnership with the i98FM Illawarra Convoy, and would like to extend our sincerely thanks to everyone who donated to the event, and made this possible. Without the support of partners such as i98FM Illawarra Convoy, we could not do the work we do and continue to assist the local Illawarra community.”
