How you'll be making a difference
CanToo’s dual mission is unique because it allows people to challenge themselves, reducing their own risk of getting cancer, as well as support the incredible research of emerging scientists in Australia.
Many researchers simply aren't getting the funding they need to get started on their work. Researchers with brilliant ideas, that could one day lead to a treatment, prevention method, or even a cure for cancer.
By taking part in one of our training programs, or an event for CanToo, such as the 2026 TCS Sydney Marathon, you're part of something incredible. Because you'll be helping to make a difference to the lives of people in Australia and around the world. Thank you.
