I'm doing an Ironman and fundraising for cancer research with Can Too
I am currently just under 4 weeks out from the biggest race of my life, Ironman Western Australia, to be held in Busselton on 6 December 2015. Not far away. As many of you who know me will know, I have been a Can Too participant and supporter for many years. Can Too has given me so much. For those of you who know of Can Too, no need for me to convince you how fantastic it is. For those of you who don't know of Can Too, I can safely say I would not be lining up for an Ironman without having had the privilege of doing a few programs and of knowing and being inspired by the exceptional and lovely Annie Crawford, the Founder of Can Too.
Can Too inspires individuals and the community to achieve personal health, wellbeing and altruistic goals. Can Too also raises much needed funds for cancer research. In the few years I have been involved with Can Too the money raised has helped a few young cancer researchers come up with significant breakthroughs in cancer research and how cancer is treated. Amazing and inspring stuff.
Ironman is a massive challenge. The race is a 3.8k swim, a 180k bike ride and then a 42k run. Training has been tough but amazing and I have surprised myself at how much the old bag of bones can can do. I have had the support of so many beautiful and inspiring people along the way, many of whom I have met through Can Too. I met my Ironman coach through Can Too and I could not be luckier to have him in my corner. My support crew in Busselton I met through Can Too and I feel I'm the luckiest person in the world to have met them and to be supported by them.
But, and it probably goes without saying, but an Ironman challenge is small fry compared to the challenge of finding cures for cancer. I really want to give something back to Can Too so I would appreciate it if you could help me do that and sponsor me for my Ironman race, with all the funds going to cancer research.
As a thank you, and it's your option to take up, I can send you a photo of my toes AFTER Ironman has been run and won. They're pretty ugly now so can't imagine they'll be much prettier after but you never know.
Cheers,
Margie
