I’m a runner from Cape Town, South Africa. So many people I know and love have been impacted by cancer, I felt it was time to do something. I’m taking part in 2023 Totalsports Two Oceans Ultra Marathon to raise money for CANSA Active, and have raised R7405 thus far. Help me reach my target of R10 000!

I am raising funds for CANSA Active. I will be running the 56km Two Oceans Marathon and by donating a R1, R100 or 1 000 for every km that run, we can make a difference…

If you can, please donate to our fundraising project on GivenGain! We will be very grateful and promise to run our little hearts out.
We’ve exceeded our target of R10 000 and have managed to raise R19 391 thus far – help us reach our new target of R20 000!

Lucy Balona – Living the CANSA Brand
CANSA Active is proud of our Head of Marketing and Communication, Lucy Balona who will be taking part in the 2023 Totalsports Two Oceans Half Marathon. She shares the reason behind her support of CANSA Active and her participation in the event:
“Staying healthy and fit is one of the ways we can lead a balanced lifestyle. My regular runs during the week and long runs on a weekend, is what gets keeps me having #FeelGoodFun.
Being part of CANSA Active can be inspiring and helping to keep me strong and fit
So many CANSA Active Champions are running, cycling or swimming for someone they know impacted by cancer or they themselves have a story to tell of how they have overcome cancer.
Often when faced with a challenge at work or home, a run helps me think better and I sometimes find solutions. That’s when I am not chatting or laughing with my fellow runners…. Running and being part of CANSA Active, also leads me to meet people from all walks of life, all cultures, and different backgrounds – the common thread is to be active and enjoy sport and with CANSA Active, you get to support the CANSA cause!
I know that the funds raised by CANSA Active Champions are helping more people to access vital cancer risk-reduction info, screening and care and support.”
