All of us in one-way or another have been touched by cancer – either you personally, a family member or a friend. It does not discriminate.
Many of you are aware of my passion and personal journey with the Can Too Foundation, and how they transform lives - through improving health and wellbeing in the community and supporting the research, prevention, care and control of cancer.
As a Can Too program participant, a program mentor, a champion, a volunteer, and a Board member, it gives me enormous pleasure to share our latest Annual Report - and to ask you to help donate towards their efforts! http://www.cantoo.org.au/about/annual-reports
