Leeton Can Assist volunteers are participating in the 2023 Can Do challenge

The "Can Do" initiative is on again, with the Leeton volunteers lacing up their joggers to walk throughout the month of August.

The fundraiser is a Can Assist head office-initiative, which raises funds for cancer patients.

"The idea is to set yourself a challenge during August," Leeton Can Assist president Sandra Watson said.

"You could be running, walking, swimming, fishing, or reading, anything really for a specific amount of time and set yourself a fundraising goal, then get family, friends to sponsor you.

"The Leeton branch of Can Assist members will be walking every Monday in August to raise money for local cancer patients.

"Last year this initiative was a great fundraiser for our branch with Can Assist members, two (Leeton shire) businesses and some (residents) getting on board and raising money for us.

"Not only are we raising money to help people with cancer, we might actually improve our own fitness."

Residents can donate to the cause by visiting www.candothedistance.org.au, clicking on donate, typing Leeton into the search bar, tapping on Leeton Can Assist and clicking on donate on the right hand side of the screen.
