I'm training with Can Too for the Blackmores Sydney Running Festival Marathon!

As many of you know from either talking to me or keeping up with my social media, this year I have set myself some serious goals to get in shape, get fit and ultimately get healthy.

I am training for an event with Can Too, a health promotion organisation that engages and inspires individuals and the community to achieve personal health, wellbeing and altruistic goals. 

This blog has been born in part to encourage and inspire people to donate to my Can Too fundraiser to run the 2015 Sydney Running Festival Marathon but also as a way to communicate my training and where I am up to in my road to achieving these long term goals.

Over the last few years, in particular, traveling for the most part of 2015 I fell into some bad habits and often found myself spiralling in a web of boozy late nights out, extreme hangovers and poor food choices and even more poorer/ non-existent physical exercise.

Fast forward to 2015, out of sheer frustration of repetitive gym workouts by myself, I endeavoured to find a form of training that made me want to get out of bed in the morning and one that motivated me to lace up my runners after I left work.

In return, I am raising valuable funds that go towards innovation in the prevention, care and control of cancer. In 2014, our Can Too community has supported 19 early career researchers through Cure Cancer Australia.

Thank you for supporting me!
 
‘It’s so much fun and I can’t believe I’m going to achieve this goal that I never thought possible. A great program and team support is making it possible. You Can Too!’
