Cancer has touched so many of us in some way – so the question we ask as we approach the Wishlist K’s for Cancer event on 17 May at Lake Kawana is - who will you run for?
Tragically, about 50,000 Australians lose their lives to cancer each year – so, this year for the return of Wishlist’s K’s for Cancer we’re asking entrants to dedicate their run or walk to a loved one, a friend, or a neighbour who has faced cancer.
Wishlist CEO Brendan Hogan said this year’s run will have special meaning for his family.
“We remember our beautiful sister, sister-in-law and aunt, Frances,” Brendan said.
“Those who know our family understand what a treasure Frances was and the revered place she continues to hold in all our hearts.
“That is what makes this event so special.
“It is not simply about fitness or finishing times. It is about people coming together for a cause that touches so many families.”
K’s for Cancer raises funds to purchase vital medical equipment to diagnose and treat cancer on the Sunshine Coast, bringing hope to patients and their families.
Join us on Sunday, 17 May at Lake Kawana and dedicate your run to someone special to you who has faced cancer.
