Melissa Bancroft

2025 Half Marathon Program

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. 

My mum lost her battle in 2017 to a rare form of upper GI cancer. Despite a vigorous fight, her options were limited as little was known about this type of cancer. That's where the Can Too Foundation came in.

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.

These grants and training programs will promote healthier lifestyles, research innovation and support those living with cancer. It would be fantastic if you could sponsor me, or even better join me in a program.

Thank you for your support!
