I'm supporting cancer research and prevention 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. 

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 $30,000,000 to invest in over 150 cancer research grants.

As many of you know, Martin has been battling cancer for the past 7 years. Thanks to a targeted drug, he was able to manage his rare cancer for the last 3 years, giving him the chance to see his two beautiful grandsons come into the world  - a gift we’ll always be grateful for. Unfortunately, the drug stopped working last year, and he had to undergo a liver resection. The good news is, he’s doing well right now, though he’ll need regular scans to monitor for any recurrence.

Thank you so much for your generosity, it means the world to me, to Martin, and to everyone who benefits from this incredible cause.
