Can Too Foundation
CanToo’s programs improve physical fitness while offering a supportive community united by a shared cause. Funds raised provide critical support to deliver more fitness programs to more people and to fund early-career cancer research in Australia.
Can Too Foundation’s mission is twofold:
- To engage and inspire individuals and the community to achieve personal health, wellbeing and altruistic goals. CanToo delivers professionally coached programs that promote healthy lifestyles, helping to reduce the risk of the one-third of cancers that are lifestyle-related.
- To enable and assist fundraising to support innovation in the prevention, care and control of cancer. CanToo specifically funds early-career cancer researchers, supporting the careers of Australia’s brightest minds and driving meaningful breakthroughs.
Supporting early-career cancer researchers is crucial for driving innovation and progress in the fight against cancer - and yet, less than 20% of all health and medical research grants are awarded to early-career researchers. By funding their work, we ensure that the next generation of Aussie researchers have the resources they need to develop new treatments, improve patient outcomes, and ultimately find cures for various cancers. Investing in early-career research is a vital investment in the fight against cancer, offering hope and new possibilities for those affected by this disease.
Since 2005, over 22,000 participants have raised $35 million to support 160+ research projects.
