Running & Trekking For A Cure!
Creator   Kyle Taylor
Close at  Wednesday, 2 May 2012

I am raising funds for CURE CANCER AUSTRALIA FOUNDATION

One in two families are touched by cancer in their lifetime and Cure Cancer is determined to improve prevention, detection and treatment outcomes to reduce the suffering caused by cancer.  For over a year I have watched as people from around the world raised thousands and thousands of dollars through my work at Inspired Adventures.  Now, it's time for me to put myself in their shoes and raise some money!  I'll be trekking through Nepal to Everest Base Camp in February and running the London marathon (yes, all 26.1 miles of it!) April 22nd.  You know me - either go big or go home!

 

I've chosen cancer research because it's personal.  I've lost dear relatives, close friends have lost partners, and friends themselves are currently battling this horrible disease.  Nothing I take on can compare to their challenge but I believe their strength and courage will help me reach my goal.  I am a fan of Cure Cancer  because they fund young and innovative researchers who are approaching cancer research from new and interesting perspectives.  It is my hope that we can all help them find a key to a cure.

 

This challenge isn't about me and what I want to do is make it about those people who you are donating in support, memoriam, or honor of.  With their fight, challenge, victory, and tragic loss in mind, I will take them with me to Everest and to London:

 

  • $65 Donation - I'll put their name and your name on my banner that I'll fly at Everest Base Camp.  It will read: "I'm trekking for: ______"
  • $110 Donation - I'll put their name on my marathon jersey that will read: "I'm running for:______"
  • $500 Donation - Let's talk!  I'll do whatever you want.
 
Join me on this epic journey by donating $65, $110, or anything you can to help unlock a key to a cure and help save lives.  We can do it!
 
 
A little more on Cure Cancer:
 
 
In 2011, Cure Cancer will provide 21 one year grants of $90,000 each to the best young researchers with fresh approaches across all areas of cancer research.  $65 funds 65 minutes, $110 funds nearly 2 hours, $380 funds one day and $1,900 funds one week of vital cancer research. Without research there can be no cure for this devastating disease. 
 
 
“In the end we will win this fight against cancer. It is just a matter of time. But we can shorten that time if more and more people join us in our quest” – Arthur Byrne, Co-Founder, Cure Cancer Australia Foundation
 
 
A little more on Inspired Adventures:
 
Inspired Adventures create exciting charity challenges for people of all ages and fitness levels.  These once-in-a-lifetime adventure treks raise on average between $50,000 and $100,000 for charities around the world.  You can find yours at their website.
