This August walk, swim, run or choose a challenge of your choice to help us take the tyranny of distance out of the cancer lottery.


Meet Alex from Bungendore, diagnosed with cancer at just 5 years of age. This was just day one of his chemo treatment. His family travelled 28,600km over the course of 11 months accessing his lifesaving treatment.


Distance matters. Country residents are more likely to contract cancer, experience higher mortality rates and are 17 times more likely to experience geographical or financial barriers to care.

Can Assist steps in to lessen the inequities distance creates. Any age, any cancer. We Can Assist.

HOW IT WORKS

Step 1


Decide what your challenge will be

Step 2


Register and create your Fundraising Page

Step 3


Set your km or hour target

Step 4


Ask your friends and family to support you

“I am running so that other country families impacted by cancer can access the help that my family did. Sign up and together we can do the distance for country cancer patients.“

-Karina Wells


100% of your fundraising will go directly to NSW country cancer patients to ensure equitable access to treatment.
