Meg Richards
Today, 34 Australians will be given the devastating news that they have blood cancer.
I personally know 3 different people who have had to go through treatment for Leukaemia and I am only 12 so don't know a lot of people yet.
I want to try and raise money to help.
I am colouring my hair pink on March 10 and would like to raise as much money as I can to help support families with Leukaemia and try and find a cure.
Please sponsor me.
Thankyou,
Meg Richards

Executive General Manager - Reds, Daniel Herbert said: "It's disappointing to be losing Liam to an overseas club, but we understand he has weighed up his options and decided this was too good an opportunity to refuse.
