1 in 3 women and 1 in 2 men will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime.
I'm doing my small bit to help beat bloody cancer by supporting early detection cancer research with Can Too Foundation.
Cancer has touched ALL our lives - when I was 14 years old my mum fought breast cancer (and survived for another 45 years), and more recently some of my closest and dearest friends have fought off (and are continuing to fight) breast cancer.
It's a bugger of a disease that takes too many people from us, and it's something that needs to change.
That's where Can Too comes in. They have a unique offering - they provide professionally coached training programs for participants of any fitness level to run, swim and cycle their way to a healthier lifestyle.
As part of the participation fee, we agree to help fundraise for the Foundation - hence this post.
Since 2005, Can Too Foundation has trained over 18,000 participants and raised over $25,000,000 to invest in over 200 one-year cancer research grants.
As so many of have witnessed, ocean swimming has changed my life for the better in so many ways, and your support would mean the world to me.
Thanking you in advance - it all helps.
Go Annie. Hope you avoid the rain.
