Please contact the CFLF office for further information. Peter Lister I have decided to run a marathon, and not just any marathon, but the 45km Great Ocean Road International Marathon. It is going to be tough, however not as tough as what some others have had to go through. I have decided to raise money for the, 'Cure for Life Foundation'. About 6 years ago, a close friend of mine's sister was diagnosed with a brain tumour. She has been fighting this tumour every since and has had to undergo constant treatments, surgery and radiation. The tumour refuses to go away and I can only imagine how hard it must be for her and her family. I was originally going to raise money for the family, however they felt it more appropriate to try and donate to a cause that could eventually find a cure. If you would like to support Peter please go to her hero site http://www.everydayhero.com.au/peterlister.
