Couch to 42KM in 5 months - raising funds for cancer research
You wouldn’t believe it (I still can't quite believe it myself )...
I'm running the Sydney Marathon on September 15 - all 42.195 km! Why a marathon? A friend suggested it, and I thought, "Why not?" (And no, it's not because of a midlife crisis, or at least I don't think it is!)
I did want to make it more meaningful. So I joined the Cantoo Sydney Marathon Program. 19 weeks later - this running newbie has benefited from expert coaching, training sessions and the most supportive running group ever. Even getting me out of bed for 6am training runs every Saturday and Sunday. Who would've thought I could function, much less run at that time of day/(night!)?
In return, I’m raising funds for Australian researchers working to beat cancer and I’m asking for your help.
Since 2005, Can Too Foundation has trained over 18,000 participants and raised over $25,000,000 to invest in over 200 one-year cancer research grants.
My “why” has now evolved into a dedication to all our loved ones we've lost to cancer. Your contributions will help advance crucial cancer research and offer hope to all those affected by this disease.
When my little legs start to give out from under me, or when the sweeper is hot on my heels, it’ll be your dollars and encouragement that will push me onwards, aiming to finish under the 7-hour qualifying time.
Thank you for you support.
Thank you to my Sponsors
