Robyn Clay

2025 Summer Ocean Swim 2km

In memory of   PHILIP CLAY,

I'm supporting cancer research and prevention 

with Can Too Foundation. 

Philip chose CanToo as his charity  to support cancer research, and also because it was an active, supportive community  important to me.

Philip benefitted from some amazing medical research since being diagnosed with metastatic renal cancer in 2017, not only from research specifically for the kidneys but from research in melanoma and other cancers, because research for one cancer often benefits another type as well.

 1 in 3 women and 1 in 2 men will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime and that's a statistic that needs to change.  

Can Too provides professionally coached training programs for participants of any fitness level to run, swim and cycle their way to a healthier lifestyle and a cancer-free world. 

In return, I am raising valuable funds that go towards innovation in the prevention, care, and control of cancer. Since 2005, Can Too Foundation has trained over 22,000 participants and raised over $30 million to invest in over 150 cancer research grants. CanToo supports early career researchers that may not get a grant from the bigger organisations.

It would be fantastic if you could sponsor me, or even better join me in a program!

Thank you for your support!

Robyn
