My name is Scott Roberts and I have decided to run the New York Marathon with the team from The Jodi Lee Foundation.
I met with Nick Lee, CEO of the Foundation and was touched to hear about the fantastic work that the charity does. On top of saving lives the JLF also does a lot of work around raising awareness to prevent bowl cancer.
I am truly passionate about the Foundation's Workplace Prevention Program which keeps growing each year and is now spreading across Australia which is great to see. The program educates employees about bowl cancer prevention and provides them with screening tests for them to complete in the privacy of their home. In 2016 the Jodi Lee Foundation completed 62 Workplace Prevention seminars with more than 6,500 employees taking part and with over 6,000 screening tests distributed.
The importance of the Program was told to me from the Foundation's Board Member Alistair Cavill, Managing Director of Cavpower (Caterpillar dealer for South Australia and Western NSW) which ran the program for a second time and distributed more than 600 screening tests to its employees.
On a personal note, I found myself falling in to bad habits with eating and drinking and putting on excessive amounts of weight and in September last year, I knew I had to change my lifestyle. Since then I have lost just under 12kg and am running on average 200kms a month - I have never thought more clearly and have never felt fitter.
Running a marathon to raise awareness for bowel cancer is the least I can do. I am looking forward to the challenge and raising much needed funds for The Jodi Lee Foundation.
Please support me and my goal of raising $20,000 for this great cause.
Regards
Scott
