I have never been a runner, I never believed I was capable of completing a half marathon especially after a knee injury. Coach Kim made running fun, always encouraging the squad, supporting our individual needs and making the training program effortless... I feel very privileged to have been coached for the last two Can Too programmes and the current half marathon program by Kim. I am aiming for a marathon hopefully soon.

What to expect on race day
We bring all our groups together for a pre-race briefing, warm up with your coach and head off to the start line together.
Hundreds of runners and spectators will cheer “Go Can Too!” to others in orange. It’s going to be a huge boost in tough times.
As you’re cheered down the home straight to the finish line, smiling for the cameras, you’re going to feel like an Olympian. And you’re going to deserve it.
Within seconds of finishing, it’ll get emotional, probably lots of hugs, as your family and friends celebrate with you at the Can Too recovery tent.
Remember: you will be a 10km Runner! Your achievements are going to inspire others to get involved and give those affected by cancer a better chance to beat it.
Step out of the crowd and be a part of something bigger than running.

Help fund lifesaving cancer research
... common fundraising questions.
What is Bronze level fundraising?
By raising $699 you will meet your minimum fundraising commitment and become a Fundraising Star.
If you go above and beyond, you could become a Silver Fundraising Star ($995) or even a Gold Fundraising Star ($1250)
Do I have to fundraise?
Yes, you are committing to fundraise in return for your 10 week coached training program. Don’t let that worry you too much, we’ve been doing this since 2005 so we have plenty of resources available to help you achieve your fundraising goal. Plus, you’ll have a Team Captain and Mentor/s to guide you through. The best approach is to have a plan and to start early.
Where does the money go?
When you fundraise for Can Too Foundation, you're fundraising for Australian cancer research and prevention. We focus on investing in early career cancer researchers across all cancer types.Can Too Foundation funded 11 researchers in 2020 and funded a further 11 researchers in 2021. As a registered charity, we will always be careful with every single dollar we spend and completely transparent in our reporting.
What if I don't meet my commitment?
When you sign up for our training programs, you receive 10 weeks of expert coaching, training and fundraising support from your Team Captain and Mentors and a full training program to give you the best chance possible to achieve your goals. In exchange, you've committed, at the outset, to fundraise for Australia's most promising cancer researchers. We'll help you every step of the way. Completing your fundraising is essential if you would like to participate in future Can Too programs.
If your personal circumstances change significantly and you know that you will be unable to fundraise, you should contact us as soon as possible to discuss withdrawing from the program.
Please do not continue and complete the program without contacting us if you do not plan to fundraise.
How long do I have to fundraise?
The good news is that you have until 30 days after your program finishes to meet your commitment to cancer research and prevention. You'll have an active fundraising page from the moment you sign up, so our suggestion is sign up early!
