I'm supporting cancer research and the health of people in Australia 

Roughly 1 in 2 of us will receive a cancer diagnosis in our lifetime. This is a statistic that we need to change. 

So, I've decided to take on a personal challenge with the support of CanToo, to raise funds along the way that could be life-changing. From supporting the ongoing health promotion work CanToo provides, to funding incredible, innovative early-career cancer researchers.

We desperately need to find more solutions to cancer, from prevention, to treatment, and ultimately a cure. Please support me on my journey with CanToo by donating to my fundraising page today!

Thank you for your support!

My reason for fundraising

Sunday 26th Apr

...Hi everyone, thought l'd add my own message instead of just the generic prompt.

I believe Can Too is an incredible organisation. The 35 million dollars raised since 2005 has resulted in real-world impacts to cancer treatment. These funds support critical grants for young scientists (early-career cancer research) many of whom find difficulty in sourcing initial funding for their research. The outcomes of their studies have lead to the development of drugs and other treatments that have saved lives, the lives of people who otherwise wouldn’t be here today.


Most of us have been affected my cancer in some way, so I think the importance of this cannot be understated.


However, most astounding to me are the ordinary people who are the bedrock of this community. The dedication they show to through training programs like the one I had undertaken, season after season, is unparalleled. Their determination, dedication, kindness, support and uplifting spirit is inspiring to me. Regardless whether we achieve the $1,200 fundraising goal or not, I’ve been blessed to participate in a cause greater than myself.


Thank you
