What School Strokes for Skin Cancer is all about:
Raising funds for A Million Metres for Melanoma
The Problem
• 2 out of every 3 Australians will be diagnosed with skin cancer
• Early sun exposure is the greatest risk factor for developing the disease
• 367 young Australians were diagnosed with melanoma last year
• Half of these were in Queenslanders
The Goal
• May is Melanoma Awareness Month
• Our goal is to raise awareness around melanoma and sun protection in young Australians
• Contribute to the Million Metres for Melanoma Campaign, which is aiming to raise $250K
The Challenge
• Students each aim to raise $367
• Every student that raises this amount rows on a rowing machine for 1 minute
• The school that rows the farthest wins
The Reward
• For every school that raises $10K: o Acknowledgement of the school contribution on MM4M social networks
• Mentorship opportunity from the MM4M crew, all doctors or corporate executives
• For every student that raises $50 or more by the end of the challenge o Skin Cancer awareness package care of Cancer Council QLD
• MM4M hat
• For the winning school o Visit from 2x Olympic medalist Will Lockwood including display of medals
• 10% of the funds raised from the School Strokes for Skin Cancer fundraiser, up to a maximum of $25K, to be used towards melanoma prevention at the school
BSRA Alumni – what they’re doing nowFrom the 28th of June to the 3rd of July 2022,
a crew of BSRA alumni will be the first Queensland women’s 8+
to race at the Henley Royal Regatta in the UK.
This regatta is renowned as one of the most prestigious on the global rowing calendar. From Olympians to club athletes, the event caters to all. They will be racing in the Wargrave Challenge Cup representing Barbarians Rowing Club.
For most of the crew, this amazing opportunity is their first international regatta. They hope to inspire more Queensland women rowers to compete in this regatta and ultimately have a long and prosperous career in this incredible sport.
The girls are university students or recent graduates and are completely self-funding their trip. They are extremely hard core and motivated by this opportunity. They have been training relentlessly for months to ensure they reach their potential at the event. Follow them on the Henley Royal Regatta livestream.
