About Can Too

Anne Crawford, Can Too Project Manager,  tells us why she started Can Too Run

"After living overseas for several years, I returned to Australia and decided that rather than re-entering the paid work force I wanted to do something that would make a difference. I had a plan to combine my passion for running and fitness with raising money for a Not-For-Profit Organization. Through a friend at Macquarie Bank, I was introduced to the Macquarie Bank Foundation. A conversation with the Head of the Foundation led me to Cure Cancer Australia and Lyn Stroud, their Executive Director. I was impressed with both Lyn and the work of Cure Cancer Australia to fund breakthrough research to create a world without cancer- nothing less. The fact that my own father died of cancer at 51 years old, only increases my desire to see this dream come true. With the support of the Macquarie Bank Foundation and Cure Cancer Australia I forged a formidable partnership and Can Too Run was born!

We are now very excited with the success of the inaugural Can Too Run program:Can Too Run, a training program where our runners participated in the Sydney Marathon, Half-Marathon and the 10km Bridge run on September 11, 2005. 

We are proud that Can Too Run raised $100,000 for cancer research!

Can Too is a program where everybody wins. It is an opportunity for you as a participant to achieve a goal you may never have thought possible, while at the same time making new friends and getting support from them. Our wonderful coaching team will give you the necessary training and advice to get you across the finish line, injury free and in a fun filled environment!! And all of the proceeds of our fund-raising go directly to supporting breakthrough cancer research.
