WHY I'M DOING IT
Each day in February I'm hitting the water for SurFebruary and raising 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.
I'm lucky not to have had any cancer and I am greatful to still be alive after surviving being hit by a car not once, but twice. I see my life with being given 'second chances' and experiences taught me the importance of kindness.
So I'm paying it forward with these 'second chances' surfing every day and seeking donations so that we can save lives and give hope to those with their cancer treatment.
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, I really appreciate your support.
See you in the water!

Amazing Tim. You may remember I had a malignant melanoma removed when I was 16. I feel I too had a second chance and often thank my Mum for seeing it and getting it removed.

On behalf of Chris and myself who began our journey with de Novo Metastatic HER2+ Breast Cancer in May 2016 and still here with brilliant work of #NHS and Phesgo ®️ . 144 cycles not out. Go for it 'Big' Tim but please be careful out there, your too precious to risk in bad surfing weather.
