| Looking
for a new Challenge? |

What are your goals for this year? - A focus for
your fitness campaign? An overseas trip? Have you
ever set out to 'Make a difference?'

Tour for a Cure gives you the unique opportunity
to achieve all three. This new fundraising campaign
from the Cancer Council Victoria sets you the
challenge of training for, and completing, an
overseas adventure tour – either Trekking
the Great Wall of China, or Cycling in Vietnam
or Thailand – while you are raising valuable
funds for the fight against Cancer.
Throughout the next six months, you can set specific
training goals for yourself, to get in great shape
for the challenge, while also organising and participating
in fundraising activities for the Cancer Council.
Fundraising in your workplace, local community,
or amongst family and friends can be great fun,
as you gather the support of those around you
for the challenge. Cancer Council staff are on
hand throughout your campaign with extensive fundraising
ideas, advice and practical support.
Through ‘Tour for a Cure’ the Cancer
Council will raise more than $100,000 per trip,
while also offering participants a unique travel
and personal experience.
