Working for CanTeen I am inspired every day by those we support. I have the privilege of meeting/talking to members and hearing their journey's. We all know what it was like to be a teenager or young adult, at times it was tough, well imagine adding cancer into the mix...
Every two days a young New Zealander is diagnosed with cancer. CanTeen supports 1500 young Kiwis aged 13-24 living with cancer - they are the inspiration behind me pushing my limits to run my first marathon.

Marathon - tick! 2 November 2010
I can't believe after months of training, the Auckland marathon has now been and gone. I was elated to cross the finish line as I don't think the legs could've held out for much more. The final 10kms really was a test of true determination. The first half of the run went really well and I?had a great pace going,?I started to slow around the 26km mark but was still going well. Hitting St?Heliers, the turning point along the waterfront?was where the legs really felt the burn and my pace slowed some more. I pushed on fighting thoughts of walking and managed to complete the marathon in 3hr55mins! Was so stoked to come in under 4hrs. The?legs are still feeling the effects of running 42kms today but it's a reminder of what I've just achieved.
