I'M RAISING IT FOR CANTEEN

Raise It

We are standing up to cancer with a triathlon for Canteen

On Christmas Day in 2021, one of my best mates, Félix, was diagnosed with an extremely rare sarcoma known as an inflammatory myofibroblastic tumour that spans his heart and left lung.

Over one year on, he has undergone three failed rounds of chemo, one failed major open-chest surgery, gene-targeting treatment that worked until it no longer did, and another surgery that never came to be.

Félix has just finished radiation therapy and awaits scans in the next few months.

The support network around Félix has been truly remarkable. We are incredibly grateful to all the doctors, oncologists, surgeons, nurses, and others in our medical system who have helped him thus far.

But we bring specific attention to Canteen - an organisation that supports young people going through cancer treatment. 

Unfortunately, the effects of cancer reach far beyond the physical realm - for both the patient and their loved ones. 

Canteen, and their volunteers, have done incredible things for our mate and his family.

This Sunday, myself and 7 mates will be standing up to cancer with a triathlon for Canteen, alongside Félix who has inspirationally been racking up more hours on Strava than all of us.

It’s going to be a challenge for a bunch of blokes arguably well past their athletic primes, but this falls well short of the challenges faced by young people with cancer. 

Considering a direct donation to Canteen would mean the world to us.

A little goes a long way. Help us, help support kids and young adults on their road to recovery. 

Cheers,
Nick

Charlie, Alex, Sam, Nic B, Jack, Harry, Christos,

and pick of the bunch,
Félix.
