My Updates
The short of my longest run for Can Too.
Friday 19th Aug
Race day is fast approaching and I can't wait to run through the glorious Blue Mountains with all of my fellow Can Too training memebers. I can't express how much I appreciate your support in me whether it be warmly wishing me luck for race day knowing all of the hard work I've put in, generously donated to my profile for the cause or listening to me go on about how much I've grown to love trail!
Race day is the fun part, the product of why we do what we do, the reward if you will, and there is a certain energy that emantes on race day.
It's not too late to donate to the cause to support Australian Cancer Researchers and my efforts to find a cure.
I know there are people out there that dont 'believe' in the 'cancer research industry' and think it is a huge money making venture because we have already found the cure. That's okay, you dont have to believe in that and I'm not here to tell you otherwise as much as I would like to. But there are some things that I damn sure do believe in and they generally fall under the categerory of feel good shit and the greater good. I believe in community involvement, improving our wellbeing and health and fitness, making support groups and friends for life, doing things from the heart, selfless actions for the benefit of others, having fun outdoors and getting away from the TV and social media b.s , and most importantly I believe in having HOPE. Hope for a cancer free future.
Can Too is making a huge difference towards finding a cure for cancer through providing funding for grants to Australian cancer researchers. Can Too is a unique charity and because the principal supporter Macquarie looks after most of the administration and business it means that all of what I can fundraise will go directly towards research grants for Australian researchers, thats right the woman or man wearing a white lab coat and funny glasses doing strange things with test tubes gets to keep science-ing (thats maybe not a word) with their results for our future.
Please give generously to help me get over the line on the weekend and to help me reach my fundraising goal for funding cancer research.
Happy running!

I'm training with Can Too for the Glenbrook Marathon 25km Trail Run!
Monday 4th AprI 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 supported 14 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!’
