Summer Ocean Swim 1km 2024

G'day everyone!

I'm joining the fight against cancer with the Can Too Foundation, a cause very close to my heart. This is not only for the countless individuals worldwide who are affected by cancer, but also for those I've personally known who've battled this dreadful disease. Thankfully, my family has been blessedly untouched by cancer, but witnessing the impact it has had on others around me has fueled my passion to contribute in any way I can.

Back when I was living in my beautiful homeland, Mauritius, I founded an organisation called S'mily in 2014. S'mily was our local version of 'Make a Wish' in Australia, with a crucial mission - to enhance the day-to-day lives of children suffering from cancer. This experience has greatly impacted my perspective and has inspired me to continue this noble cause here in Australia.

The chilling statistics reveal that 1 in 3 women and 1 in 2 men will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime. This signifies that someone we deeply care for might have to confront this formidable enemy, and I believe we need to change this narrative.

Asking myself, "How can I make a difference?" led me to Can Too Foundation! Can Too offers professionally coached training regimes for participants at any fitness level, encouraging them to run, swim, and cycle their way towards a healthier lifestyle and, more importantly, a cancer-free world. 

In this endeavour, I am striving to raise funds that will be directed towards innovative research in cancer prevention, care, and control. Since its inception in 2005, Can Too Foundation has trained over 18,000 participants and raised over $25,000,000, which has been invested in over 200 one-year cancer research grants.

I warmly invite you to sponsor me in this journey, or even better, join me in a program! Your support would mean the world to me, and together, we can pave the way towards a future free of cancer.

Thank you for your support
