Did you know that 50% of cancers can be prevented by leading a healthy lifestyle? By taking a step in the right direction and running for a cure you will not only be supporting the 20,000 Queenslanders diagnosed with cancer each year but also potentially reducing your risk of developing cancer.

You can run/walk for a cure at one of Cancer Council Queensland's Run for a Cure events held across Queensland each year.
