In 2017, Arron Clark and Michael Durante created SurFebruary, a surf community event to help create awareness for cancer, and fundraise for Chris O’Brien Lifehouse.
Arron explains here why you should Get OnBoard!
"My wife Jenna-Lea was 28 years old and a new mum. How quickly life can change.
After an irregular pap smear, the results of subsequent cone biopsy were bad. Jenna-Lea was diagnosed with cervical adenocarcinoma, a rare type of tumour behind her cervical wall. Not only in a life threatening position, we were also advised there was strong likelihood we could never have any more children.
After 3 years of care and multiple surgeries including a modern trachelectomy procedure, through Professor Carter and his team at Chris O’Brien Lifehouse, Jenna-Lea is a cancer survivor and has recently given birth to a miracle baby boy. Chris O’Brien Lifehouse saved my families future."
It’s now our time to give back to the Chris O’Brien Lifehouse. Arron Clark and Michael Durante created SurFebruary, a surf community event to help create awareness for cancer, and fundraise for Chris O’Brien Lifehouse.
We all have a friend, family member or loved one who has been affected by cancer, now it’s time to help. Get healthy and fit by surfing everyday in February, create awareness for cancer, and help those in need.
