I'm supporting cancer research and learning to paddle a surf ski with Can Too Foundation!
1 in 3 women and 1 in 2 men will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime. This means that potentially someone we love may have to battle cancer, and that's a statistic that needs to change.Â
That's where the Can Too Foundation comes in!Â
Can Too provides professionally coached training for participants to learn to run, swim, cycle or paddle their way to a healthier lifestyle. In return, participants raise critical funds towards innovation in the prevention, care, and control of cancer. Since 2005, Can Too Foundation has trained over 22,000 participants and raised over $30,000,000 to invest in over 150 cancer research grants.
So, with CanToo and Sydney Harbour Surf Club, I have for the past few months been learning to paddle a surf ski, overcome a fear of the deep blue sea (well, trying), and stay on top of the surfski rather than in the water (mostly). : ) Oh, and learning to set my alarm (and get up) at 4.45 several times a week. Who would have thought???
Our training program culminates in a 10km paddle event (race?) on Sunday 8 December.Â
It would be fantastic if you could sponsor me, and consider joining a CanToo program yourself! It's been a lot of fun, a challenge and great to learn a fabulous new skill.Â
Thank you for your support!
