K's for Cancer

Sometimes, you've just got to do something a bit stupid, but as Forest Gump once said, stupid is as a stupid does.

On Sunday, the 10th of August, I'll be running 100 laps of Cutheringa Park in Townsville, to raise money for Cancer. The run will be around 128 kilometers (give or take a couple of hundred meters), starting at 3:30am, and finishing hopefully around 6pm!

This cause is something that is close to me and my family's heart. In 2019, our good mate, Darren Lemon had a short battle with cancer. Earlier this year, one of Mareeba's finest, Kevin Davies, had a short but brutal battle with this terrible disease.

Still going through treatment is my good mate, Terence Hooper and my aunty, Sally Simpson. Through a variety of different treatments, these two continue to fight through, and with your support, people like Hoops and Sal will continue to fight.

Our littlest fighter is Gia Smith. "GG" was diagnosed with leukemia at just 2 years old. Her whole family had to uproot their life in Mareeba, and move down to Brisbane to give Gia the best care they could get. Gia has come out the other side of this, and is now living the life a young girl should!

We can all say that we have someone in our life that has been touched by this terrible disease. My goal is to raise $20,000 for cancer research, which will help in finding preventions and cures, for a disease that will unfortunately touch all our lives at some point.

So, whether you can donate some spare cash, or are keen to run a few laps, any support would be fantastic!

Let's get it!
