Parliament 2Opera 2015 kicked off our World Lymphoma Awareness month campaign.
This is the fifth year that P20 (an annual bike ride for Lymphoma Australia) has brought together patients, carers and supporters to raise awareness and support for Lymphoma. The 330 km ride takes place over 3 days and this year amongst the 27 riders were 6 patients and 13 year old Jack Ruhan who was cycling in memory of his dad Jason.
