- 2 in 5 people will be diagnosed with cancer before the age of 85.
- We all know how it feels to have a friend or family member affected by cancer, as well as the priceless feeling of the support we received during this time.
- I have decided to quit my job and ride 8,000km from ‘South to North of the Southern Hemisphere’ to raise money for Canteen.
ABOUT CANTEEN:
I am fundraising to ensure all young Aussies impacted by cancer continue to receive the support they need during this difficult and isolating time.
Whether dealing with their own diagnosis, a close family member’s cancer, or the death of a loved one; with your help, Canteen will be in their corner.
Cancer affects everyone differently. That’s why Canteen provides a wide range of free support services including social connection events and programs, free counselling, 24/7 online support for young people and parents, access to free resources and specialist support for young cancer patients.
One of my best friends I met from doing my Master of Teaching lost his mum due to cancer when he was a teenager. However, Canteen provided him with some of the hope and resources he needed not only to cope, but eventually grow from his loss. This friend is now a school counsellor, supporting the people in his community to be the best version of themselves professionally and personally with his own friends and family.
Please give anything you can to this beautiful charity:
Thank you in advance for your generosity, it means a lot!
