With 10 days to go, I've reached my fundraising goal (exceeded it actually!) for Cure Cancer Australia and I'm all set to run the daunting 21km. Thanks to my incredibly generous friends and family I am officially a Can Too Fundraising Star. Complete with orange glitter hat and certificate, I now get to wear my full day-glo running shirt and running hat!

Through Can Too, Cure Cancer Australia provides grants directly to young cancer researchers in a variety of areas such as Melanoma (something very close to my heart), Leukaemia / Lymphoma, Breast and Bone Cancer among many more. Research is the key to a world without cancer and these researchers are achieving amazing things. I'm so glad to be running in support of this important cause. Can Too has raised over $11 million dollars since it began which blows my mind.

Now for some last minute training and carb loading (my excuse to eat bucket loads of pasta!) to make sure I actually make it to the party at the finish line and don't end up passed out under the Opera House!
Thank you all for your support and looking forward to sharing my race day success!!
