Can Too’s highest fundraiser, Margaret-Anne Hayes, has now raised over $250,000 for the research, prevention, care and control of cancer! Margaret-Anne has been fundraising for the past 10 years; from jumping out of a plane (twice!) to making jams and chutneys – you won’t find a more dedicated fundraiser than Margaret-Anne!
MARGARET-ANNE
Can Too engages employees and organisations to help them achieve health and well-being goals with a program designed to better meet the needs of the corporate community. AstraZeneca first joined Can Too in 2016 for the Sydney Morning Herald Half Marathon training and have since raised over $47,000 for the Can Too Foundation.
ca aZene r t s A “A friend of mine had participated in a Can Too program and I had always thought she was crazy, getting up early every Saturday morning and then meeting me for coffee after completing a 16km run, and it was only 9.30am! I bit the bullet and signed up. I thought I could raise money for an incredible cause, very close to my heart, whilst also getting fit and healthy in my “old” age.
NIALL FABER
After completing half marathons, 2.8km ocean swims and Olympic triathlons, I am now participating in my 16th Can Too program, the Glenbrook 25km trail run and have raised over $20,000 for cancer research and prevention.”
“I was initially very nervous about training regionally and how I would go motivating myself but honestly, it has been great. I have received unimaginable amounts of support from my fellow Can Too pod members and my coach even though I was training remotely in Armidale. I am constantly finding motivation to push myself when I am running and have loved living an active lifestyle whilst raising money for the Can Too Foundation.”
