Cancer takes from too many of us, with one in two Australians diagnosed with cancer by the time they turn 85.
By taking part in the Marilyn Jetty Swim, you will be helping to raise vital funds for life-saving cancer prevention programs, groundbreaking South Australian cancer research and support services for all South Australians impacted by cancer.
Since we first began in 2014, the Marilyn Jetty Swim has raised over $1.3m to enable Cancer Council SA to work towards reducing the rate and impact of cancer for all South Australians.
Tackling cancer takes all of us. With your fabulous support as ‘50’s bombshell Marilyn Monroe, Cancer Council SA can be there and make sure no one has to go through cancer alone.
