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.

Join our ‘CAN DO’ Challenge

  • Challenge yourself  
  • Compete against others
  • Encourage your friends, family and colleagues  
  • Get Involved 
  • Sign Up  
  • Seek others to support you

Together We CAN DO 

The money raised will ensure Can Assist continues to support over 10,000 requests for assistance each year and advocate for equitable access to cancer care and treatment for all residents of rural NSW diagnosed with any cancer.

“If it were not for Can Assist, we would have needed to sell our house to afford treatment…. we can’t thank Can Assist enough”Jon Cootamundra

The Gills travelled well in excess of 50,000 km over the course of Tommy’s treatment: around 150 trips in total. “I couldn’t put a number on what we spent…. then there was the time off work and all the extra travel, we could not have got through it without the help of charities like Can Assist who provided us with multiple travel vouchers” Sam Gill, mother of Tommy.

When first diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, Lyn was flown to St Vincent’s Hospital in Sydney for immediate treatment. Sydney became home for Lyn for the next three months. Steve drove back and forth to Sydney (1,100 kms return per trip) multiple times over this period and spent several weeks in various Sydney accommodation facilities.
