James Townsend-Rose Tackles the Two Oceans Ultra for CANSA

We’re proud to share that James Townsend-Rose is taking on the Totalsports Two Oceans Ultra Marathon in support of CANSA Active – a movement that promotes an active, balanced lifestyle while raising awareness and funds for CANSA’s care and support programmes for those affected by cancer.

Here’s James’ story in his own words:

“I’m excited to be raising money for CANSA Active, a fantastic initiative focused on promoting an active lifestyle and raising awareness for cancer.

I’ll be running the Two Oceans Ultra Marathon – 56KM of beautiful vistas and bloody great hill climbs. I did it in 2017 in 6hrs 51mins. My goal for 2025 is to beat 6hrs 30.

At 43 years old, these marathons aren’t getting any easier – so all the encouragement you can muster (in the form of cold hard donated cash) is gratefully received!

Thanks for your support.”

Join us in cheering James on as he trains and races with purpose. Every donation helps fuel his journey and CANSA’s mission to ensure no one faces cancer alone.
