I am fundraising in the name of my father, Hans Spolén, who passed away from cancer 4 years ago after a brave fight. I’m also doing it for other loves ones, and everyone out there, who have been touched by this illness.
I love the ocean and I love surfing, however the last few years I have been more out of the water than in due to a series of injuries. So what better way to get back into the past-time I love so much than to do it for a good cause!!
Each day in February I'm hitting the water for SurFebruary and raising well needed funds for cancer research at Chris O'Brien Lifehouse.
The reality is that one in two of us will be affected by cancer in our lifetime. That’s a pretty big statistic. The good news is that we can make a tangible impact on how we treat cancer by contributing to innovative cancer research that benefits us all.
It only takes a minute to donate and anything you can give (no matter how big or small) will go a long way to helping people with cancer and their families.
Thank you so much, I really appreciate your support and kindness.
See you in the water! 🏄🏼🙏

Hi Lisa, Sorry I didn’t get back to you sooner but I had a fall at the beach (just after meeting you), split my arm open and ended up in John Hunter hospital for surgery. I’m actually still here. Anyway, huge congrats on your challenge. Great effort for a great cause. Hope this little donation helps. Deb

Grymt vilket fint engagemang och vilket heroisk jobb du har lagt ned. Din pappa måste vara/skulle varit superstolt. Cancer är något som drabbar oss alla på ett eller annat sätt men få gör något åt det. Massor av cred till dig Lisa ❤️.
