A typical rural cancer patient travel requirement over the course of their treatment is in the order of 50 hours of drive time.
We don’t often stop to think how far people in the bush have to travel and the stress that involves.
This October lets change that!
You CAN DO
Introducing the CAN DO Challenge, a different kind of challenge in support of rural cancer patients. This October show your support by pledging 12 hours of your month to a challenge of your choosing. You could run, swim, read, paint…or whatever will push you to do something different. Your 12 hours of EXTRAordinary represents just 25% of a rural cancer patients travel journey yet will help make a difference.
Our stories of Anna, Leonie, Luke and little Tommy all demonstrate that for those who live in remote rural areas, a cancer diagnosis isn’t just a health challenge, it’s often a logistical nightmare. The distance between these patients and the care they need adds extra costs and planning to an already stressful time.
Can Assist alleviates some of this stress, - by registering for the CAN DO Challenge this October you can help yourself and Can Assist.
What’s stopping you?
Please pledge just 12 hours of your month to a challenge of your choosing!

“Lilier played such an instrumental role in my recovery…it’s more like a family” says Anna Nardi from Leeton
If you are travelling to The Riverina Cancer Care Centre in Wagga Wagga for treatment, you can stay at Lilier Lodge which is part owned and operated by Can Assist. Housing patients and carers who live up to 1,000km away like Anna they find solace and support with fellow guests.
