The 2022 John Goldman charity Fun Run raised over $1,700 so far. What a great achievement!

A special thank you to all for participating in our charity run T-shirt and to everyone for your generous contributions to support the work of the iCMLf. These funds will make a huge difference to help the iCMLf to support young scientists and physicians in low- and middle-income countries.

This year, everyone can be involved in the John Goldman Charity Fun Run.

This year you can do your own 5 km run and join the CML community virtually for the John Goldman Fun Run. Challenge yourself and join us!
The virtual run will be open until November 4^th.
