Can Too Run
How Can Too Run Works
Can Too Run is a program where professional coaches will train you to run a marathon, half-marathon or 10k event. You have the opportunity to reach your goal in a supportive, fun and sometimes crazy environment, while raising money for cancer research through the Cure Cancer Australia Foundation, www.cure.org.au
What’s happening in 2008?
We have two Can Too Run training programs in 2008. The Can Too Team will run in the Sydney Morning Herald Half Marathon in May, 2008 and in the Sydney Running Festival in September, 2008.
“The Can Too program inspires, enlivens, enthralls, and breathes new life into anyone game enough to participate! Through Can Too I have made fabulous new friends, learnt soooo much about my body, gotten fit and most importantly become so much more aware that I TOO can make a difference in the world! It's a fabulous program!!Long may it live and inspire others!! Thank you so much."

What Can I do for Can Too?
In return for the professional coaching, we will be asking you to raise the following amounts of money:
- If you train for the Marathon - $2000
- If you train for the Half-Marathon - $1250
- If you train for the 9 km Bridge Run - $800
Don’t be nervous about achieving your fundraising goal! We will give you tips and ideas to achieve it. Team mates will also share fundraising ideas with you. Half way through the program we will ask you to recommit to Can Too. You will recommit to achieving your running goal and to having half of your funds raised for Cure Cancer. We must ensure that you have met half of your fundraising goal at this time, as we incur significant costs in delivering the program.As Can Too Run is primarily a fundraising program, one month after your run event, your sponsorship account closes. Any outstanding sponsorship will be charged to your credit card at this time. We would of course discuss this with you first.
This situation rarely occurs because people raise their money!
What happens to the money raised?
This is a non profit program and all proceeds go to Cure Cancer Australia www.curecancer.org.au to directly fund medical research to achieve a world without cancer – nothing less! This is a great cause that you can proudly support. We have currently raised money for 20 researchers.
