Each day, 111 people across Australia and New Zealand are diagnosed with cancers like prostate, bladder, kidney, and more. From 1st October to 1st November, The Australia & New Zealand Urogenital & Prostate Cancer Trials Group (ANZUP), is inviting people to complete 111 of any activity – whether it’s running, swimming, hula-hooping, or even 111 minutes of dancing. The challenge is fully customisable to suit everyone’s lifestyle.
Examples of activities people can do to help raise money include:
- Squats
- Jumps on a trampoline
- Yoga poses held
- Tennis serves
- Jump rope skips
- Books read
- Minutes meditated
- KMs cycled
- Reps of weightlifting
- Healthy meals cooked
Throughout the month ANZUP will be sharing some of the more innovative and creative fundraising efforts of the participants so people are encouraged to put on their thinking caps to combine fun and creativity for a powerful cause. Not only can people choose whatever and whenever to complete their task, it’s also free to register!
Samantha Oakes, ANZUP CEO, said, “We’re inviting everyone to join us in taking on an exciting challenge to support the 111 people diagnosed with Below the Belt Cancer every day across Australia and New Zealand. Since 2008, we’ve proudly enrolled over 8,000 participants in 33 national and international clinical trials, and now we’re aiming to raise $10 million over the next five years to expand our impact even further. I’ll be surfing 111 waves each week – it’s going to be a challenge, but it’s all for a great cause. What’s your challenge going to be?”
ANZUP aims to improve outcomes for people affected by ‘Below the Belt’ cancers (testicle, prostate, kidney, penis and bladder) by exploring and defining priority areas in below the belt cancer research. Almost 8,000 patients have been enrolled in 33 ANZUP Cancer Trials for ‘Below the Belt’ cancers globally leading to better patient outcomes & changing lives.
