A reflection on the late Dean Jones walk from Sydney to Melbourne to raise $1.2 million dollars for BMDI

The NEC Dean Jones Walk for Leukaemia Sydney to Melbourne 2003 for BMDI saw Deano and his wife Jane joined by a host of celebrity walkers and volunteers walk from Sydney to Melbourne over 32 days and raise $1.2 million dollars for the Bone Marrow Donor Institute (aka Fight Cancer Foundation).
Over a 12 month period Rod engineered the entire logistical project from start to finish with sponsors, the VIC and NSW Police, state road authorities and local councils.
Enjoy some of these fantastic photographs from the event.
