I'm training with Can Too for the Sydney Morning Herald Half Marathon!
I 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 2016, our Can Too community has supported 12 early career researchers through Cure Cancer Australia and Cancer Council NSW.
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!’

pay back
Sunday 12th Febive been involved with Can Too on and off for a few years now. Can Too has had a profound effect on my life, my business and personally.
I've had a year off training through injury and after a fair bit of re-hab i'm ready for the next step.
When I thought about where I would train and who I needed to provide a supportive, fun, inclusive community to push me back to my best, I could think of no other than Can Too.
Can Too have been good to me in ways they may not even know. I have worked for them. And now it is time to pay back the favour.
Can Too is made up of the most amazing and inspiring people and have helped me pay it forward with my own favourite team of inspiring people at BBPT.
Please help me pay back the people who helped me. Please donate to my cause to help research find answers to the most persistent disease that plagues our society.
please donate now. So that I don't have to Oerter you later! LOL! ????
Thank you to everyone who has made a donation towards my goal
