“The greatest gift we could have wished for"
For Deana & Rob, their wedding was more than a celebration of love. It was a way to honour Deana’s father, Domenico Marrocco, who lived with Myelodysplasia and later Acute Myeloid Leukaemia. Instead of traditional gifts, they invited guests to make donations to Garvan and Dr Jim Blackburn’s research. Together they raised $7,700, turning a joyful day into a lasting gift that could help other families in the future.
"Knowing that together we raised $7,700 for such an important cause was the greatest gift we could have wished for." – Deana Marrocco
