Armstrong on the Road for Cancer!

The Tour de Cure has it's very own Armstrong taking up the fight against Cancer. Australian Swimming champion Duncan Armstrong will join the Tour de Cure riders on the first leg from Brisbane to the Gold Coast.

'I’m privileged to be involved with Tour de Cure . Anyone who has been very sick understands the pain and anxiety of feeling dreadful, now multiply that by 1000 and you might have an idea of one single day in the life of a person battling cancer. There are thousands of courageous men, women, and children taking the battle to cancer every day. So it’s up to the rest of us to roll up our sleeves and do the hard work of funding research for a cure. The Tour de Cure is an opportunity to put our healthy bodies to work for people in need of a cure from cancer. As one talented youngster who is in the fight of his life has stated, “I’ve got cancer, but it hasn’t got me!” Isn’t the health of this true Aussie champion worth riding a few hundred kilometers for?
Come and say G'day to Duncan and the TDC team on May 28th in the Queen Street Mall in Brisbane.
