Townsville To Cairns Run

By Brendan Skinner

I'm fundraising for a great cause!

I’m running from Townsville to Cairns to raise money for Children’s Cancer Institute from Sunday 14th January to Saturday the 20th of January. 

A life should be long. Every child should have the chance to grow up and grow old. To plan exciting futures, chase their dreams, and fulfil their potential.

But cancer cuts life short for hundreds of children every year, before they’ve even had a chance to make their mark. Here in Australia, we have more than 1000 children and adolescents being diagnosed with cancer every single year. And every week, three young lives will be lost to the disease.

As the only independent medical research institute in Australia, Children’s Cancer Institute is wholly dedicated to childhood cancer. Everything we do is about helping more kids with cancer not only survive, but go on to live long, healthy lives.
