				37 year old Ed Wilcox from Mt Hawthorn is a first timer at the City to Surf. He’s no athlete, but in 2010 he’s got a major focus. Ed recently underwent the harrowing experience of a bone marrow transplant at Royal Perth Hospital, part of his ongoing battle with non-hodgkins Lymphoma. After such a procedure, the 100 day post transplant is seen as an important step in the recovery process. It just so happens that Ed’s 100th day is on Sunday 29th August, race day for the 2010 Rebel Sport City to Surf for Activ. Ed has committed to take part in the Appealathon 12km Walk, and his participation in the event is symbolic of the journey towards full health in the near future. “The 100th day is a significant milestone day and finishing this walk is not only a great challenge for me but something that will bring tremendous satisfaction. "It won’t be easy. Ed fights post transplant fatigue and many other hurdles as he battles Lymphoma. The City to Surf provides a goal for him moving forward. Ed is fundraising for the Leukemia Foundation as part of his participation in the event. He has quickly shot to the top of our leader board with his inspiring efforts. We wish Ed all the best in his recovery and on his milestone day. To learn more about Ed’s cause please CLICK HERE.
