CANSA Active – How it Works
Feeling helpless in the face of cancer? Everyone seems to know someone who has been touched by it…
Our CANSA Active campaign gives you and your loved ones the chance to be active in the fight against cancer, while having fun!
Participate in activities that you love, for example, walking, running, cycling, swimming or going wild and ask your contacts to help you raise funds to support cancer patients and loved ones, by making a donation towards your participation in your chosen event and to your online fundraising project.
Get moving towards better health, and lower your personal cancer risk, while raising awareness of cancer and funds to grow CANSA’s care and support services.

Why Choose to be CANSA Active?
The CANSA Active campaign promotes regular exercise and physical activity while being SunSmart, and leading a healthy, balanced lifestyle with the end goal of lowering your personal cancer risk.
A lack of regular exercise and physical activity; being overweight or obese; combined with unhealthy dietary and lifestyle habits, for example, tanning, smoking and drinking alcohol, may increase your personal risk of being diagnosed with cancer.
If your chosen activity allows you to move, you can be CANSA Active…
CANSA Active invites everyone, regardless of fitness level, from pre-schoolers to great grandparents; fitness enthusiasts; serious athletes; sport groups or clubs; family and social joggers; runners; walkers, cyclists, swimmers and adventure sport enthusiasts to get moving towards better health!
