Cecilia Ali Leukemia Foundation (CALF)

This is to raise awareness on leukaemia – a type of blood cancer. 

The inaugural orange day is the initiative of the Cecilia Ali Leukaemia Foundation (CALF).

CALF has had a few sponsors on board to see to the worthy course.

"It's something we believe in, the values and especially that the funds are going towards raising awareness on blood cancers and helping people living with leukaemia," said Andrew Rumawery from SMEC.

CEO and co-founder of CALF, Christina Cragnolini, says at least 600 people are expected to show up.

It was in fact her grandson who put her on this path in the very beginning.

Mary had approached the Cecilia Ali Leukemia Foundation to climb Mt Wilhelm with 11 other women, to raise funds and awareness of the foundation and Leukaemia in PNG.

She was particularly passionate about this because she had lost her 12-year-old grandson Jedrick Moale to Leukaemia in April 30, 2014.
