Celebrity messages of support
"I am delighted to support the Tour de Cure. It is a brilliantly conceived concept run by a group of incredibly passionate people with the aim of helping 3 courageous groups (Men - Prostate Cancer, Women - Breast cancer, Kids - Canteen) who have been afflicted by devastating illness.
My life is now dedicated to raising awareness to the importance of movement, exercise and good eating habits and how this will reduce the chances of being struck down by heart disease in particular. Tragically some people aren't so fortunate as to have a choice regarding their health. I will proudly ride the last leg with the TDC cyclists and happily dip into my pockets to support this exceptional cause."
"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?"
