Canoe 4 Breast Cancer
Brendan Currin is a fifth-year medical student and the winner of the Men’s Health Look 2008. Brendan works at the Chris Hani Baragwanath Hospital and is passionate about saving lives, a passion that lead him to contact us to help him raise funds for Breast Cancer while competing in the Hansa Powerade Dusi Canoe Marathon 2009. Brendan’s paddling partner is Alice Rawlinson, and thanks to Alice’s father, the couple will be paddling in a bright pink double canoe. “I have been trying to work out how to get down the river in a pink canoe and still look like a man” Brendan laughs. “It all clicked when I started watching the cricket on the 3rd of Jan.
The test match was dedicated to breast cancer awareness. I thought of dressing us up completely in pink and actually paddling for breast cancer awareness in SA. I think it will be a good thing for me to show that at heart we are all really breast men! (plus … 1% of men actually get breast cancer)” says Brendan. Cause Marketing Fundraisers are assisting Brendan and Alice to create awareness and raise funds for breast cancer. All funds raised by Brendan and Alice will go towards the first ever Mobile Mammography Unit in South Africa. This unit will be launched in March 2009.
A Total of R 16 722.00 was raised at the Dusi for Breast Cancer Fundraisers. THANK YOU!
