Beating cancer with a little 'umph from my friends
Cancer is a dreadful disease, and in the recent past I have seen up-close how unfair and devastating it is. Beating cancer is going to take commitment, skills and resources.
I want to do my part and so, after a couple of years hibernating and with a few more ageing body parts, I am going to squeeze back into my tri-suit to join the Mater Smiling for Smiddy team at the 2023 Noosa Triathlon, raising money for the Mater Foundation.
Noosa is the world’s largest triathlon and Smiling for Smiddy is Noosa’s marquee charity. I am proud to again be part of the Smiddy community that helps fund ground-breaking research into various types of cancer.
On Sunday, 5 November, I’ll be challenging myself with a 1.5km swim, 40km ride and 10km run. I’m also challenging myself to raise as much money as I can – and this is where I need your help.
I would ask that as you can, please dig deep and donate to the Mater Foundation. Beating this disease requires effort, and for me the difference between tri and triumph is a little ’umph from my friends.
My heartfelt thanks in advance.
Thank you to my Sponsors
