Fitness fighting cancer

A world without cancer – nothing less....episode 2

This is my first go at trail running and at raising money in the Can Too Program. 10 weeks of training - 6 down, 4 to go! Saturday saw me run for an hour up and over Mt Coot-tha and back again - something I couldn't even imagine a month ago.

Can Too funds young scientists to pursue potential breakthrough cancer research. Last week at training a melanoma researcher told us how Can Too supported her research into genetic markers for 2 years. It was her sole source of funding for that time - her work is now in clinical trials - something that wouldn't have been possible without the support of donors.

That's why I would really appreciate your support to help fulfil Can Too's vision of sponsoring scientists and working toward a world without cancer. To sponsor me online – click this link: https://www.cantoo.org.au/fundraisers/RachelStewart-Koster

After a sponsorship has been made online you will receive an automatic receipt and all donations above $2 are tax deductible.!! Thank you so much for your support!

I'm training with Can Too for the Tour de Tamborine 8.5km Trail Run!

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.

Beginners and experienced athletes alike are given professional coaching as part of a team to run or swim in endurance events- including 10km, half-marathon and marathon runs; as well as ocean swims and triathlons.

In return, I am raising valuable funds that go towards innovation in the prevention, care and control of cancer. In 2015, our Can Too community has supported 12 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!’
