From 2015, Crackin’ Cancer will be expanding its number of annual weeklong horse trail rides from two, to three, the extra one being at Dayboro, QLD
There is no doubting the fact that cancer is becoming more and more prevalent. Most families in this country have felt the devastating effects of cancer, first hand, so much so, that we now find ourselves with our backs to the wall. It seems as though we have arrived at a point where we each have a moral obligation to participate in the war against this disgusting, debilitating disease.
Thankfully, medical researchers are making inroads into earlier diagnosis, improved treatments and cures, however they are in desperate need of more funding in some important areas.
Crackin’ Cancer stages events to raise much needed funds that will allow those medical researchers to go on cracking more of those elusive cancer codes.
Crackin’ Cancer has a well established working relationship with the Cancer Council and directs funds from our trail rides, into cancer research, via the Cancer Council.
Crackin’ Cancer’s motto is “Research Is The Answer – Funding Is The Key”. How true that is.
The two annual weeklong horse trail rides to date, have been the Cumberland HTRC/Crackin’ Cancer ride, which was held at Scone, but has since been relocated to the Megalong Valley, in the Blue Mountains and the Three Waters High Country Holidays ride at Glen Innes, which in October.
