And so the craziness begins! After vowing I would not do another Marathon, I have once again committed to running one - this time the Queenstown Marathon in November. Oh god! What was I thinking.......???? No, I had not been drinking either...
Because I can, that's why? And so many others can't. Cancer to this day is still an insidious disease. One that impacts not only the people who are diagnosed, but their families, friends and community. I'd love to eradicate it for good, but this is not my skill (no rude comments here please!), although what I can do - and ask you to do - is support those bright minds who can. Early career cancer researchers who need funding to get their research going - whose research may be the breakthrough that saves you or me, or one of our loved ones.
So please join me in this (painful) journey of mine to help me raise funds for The Can Too Foundation - who support health and wellness in the community through fitness and funding early career cancer researchers. I have been an advocate and fan of theirs since I returned to Australia in 2009, and as part of their community who has raised $18m to date I am so proud to be associated with them.
Thank you for your support and help........
