9 Years Old, One Big Goal: Chae Runs in Memory of Grandad Daryll

Chae’s Story

“Chae has signed up for a 5k in April to raise money in memory of his beloved Grandad Daryll, who we lost to stomach cancer back in 2023. As Chae is only 9, both myself and Sam will also be completing 5k. 🥵 Please help Chae hit his target and more importantly help support others struggling with this terrible disease.”

Everyone at OPA are inspired by Chae’s courage and commitment to making a difference. Taking on a 5K at just 9 years old is an incredible achievement, and we’re honoured to support him as he runs in memory of his Grandad Daryll. Thank you to all who are helping him along the way.
