Together we will keep Dad's star shining bright
Dear friends & family,
I am sharing this page with you as my dad David who I love beyond measure passed away after a long battle with two types of cancer Non Hodgkin Lymphoma and Acute myeloid leukemia (AML). On Friday 30th October 2026 after a 26 year journey he passed away peacefully at Dungog Memorial Hospital. He was a bit of an anomaly, surviving with optimism, humour, love and respect.
My family and I want to honour his memory by lighting the way for future Australians affected by blood cancer by supporting the work of the Leukaemia Foundation. And I want a future where no lives are lost to blood cancer.
A donation in memory of my father means his legacy will have a lasting impact for years to come.
His life will continue to help all Australians with blood cancer access the best treatments, care and support they need to survive, and thrive no matter their background or where they live. His legacy will power ground-breaking research meaning fewer families will be going through what we are in the future.
Please help me honour dad's legacy by using the 'Donate' button. The more people who know about the Leukaemia Foundation's work, the greater the impact, so please spread the word by sharing this page with your friends, family and colleagues.
Thank you in advance for your kindness and generosity. You will be giving an incredible gift of hope in honour of a lovely, lovely man, my dad, David Jamison Crawford.. 12/05/1943 - 30/10/2026
