YOUR WAY SONG BY PROFESSOR DICKON HAYNE PUBLISHED ON SPOTIFY

Below the Belt #YourWay

Y UR WAY

During the month of September, 237 challengers and 43 teams ran, walked, cycled and swam 72,783 kms across Australia, New Zealand, UK and beyond, and raised an extraordinary $173,000 for ANZUP’s Below the Belt Research Fund.

The Below the Belt #YourWay Challenge originated from the song, Your Way donated to ANZUP by Dickon Hayne, who penned and recorded the song with his two daughters Zoe and Natasha. The #YourWay Challenge empowered the community to support ANZUP via digital channels, and gave participants the choice of what, where, when and how they undertook the challenge over 30 days of September.

There were plenty of laughs and competitive mini challenges but everyone was dedicated to the challenge and to raise awareness and much needed funds for below the belt cancer research. And at the same time, keeping both mind and body healthy.

We were delighted to have many ANZUP members participating and not only raising amazing funds, but also clocking up extraordinary kms and even leading smaller #YourWay events.

The incredible Dickon Hayne not only inspired the challenge with this song, but he was the team captain for the Fiona Stanley Fremantle Hospital Group who were the highest fundraisers raising an incredible $15,800 with several activities contributing to the challenge.

“This cause is close to my heart. Currently, I’m a collaborator in a worldfirst bladder cancer therapeutic trial, only made possible with a $50,000 Below the Belt start-up grant. We can’t wait to share our progress!”

“I had challenged myself to walk a minimum of 150kms and I’m very happy to report that I’m on target to achieve my stretch goal of 200kms. Tony has joined in the challenge as well and we have walked the streets of Lysterfield and lucky for us our 5km zone allows us to walk in the lovely Lysterfield National Park as well. I also gratefully thank all the family and friends who have chipped in and sponsored this event. Raising funds is vitally important to help ANZUP run clinical trials to answer questions that may help improve outcomes for #belowthebelt #cancers. We could not do this work without your support.”

“We, the Underhill family, wanted to be involved as a family to walk/run together as a way of staying fit in lockdown in regional Victoria. Sadly, several members of our family have died of cancer and we wanted to raise awareness and money for this important cause. We know how important clinical trials are to improving cancer outcomes. And we thought the team name was a bit of a laugh! Go Team Undies!”

“As a long-time supporter of the Pedalthon and an Ambassador of the Below the Belt events I think it’s a wonderful evolution to the #YourWay challenge in response to the events thrown at us in 2020. Now more than ever it’s really important that people find their own way to stay healthy and active, and also to continue to raise awareness for the amazing work the ANZUP team are doing”.

– Jonny Harrison

“Well hasn’t 2020 been a year of constant change, challenge and opportunity. Never before have we had to pivot so much to survive. ANZUP did this beautifully with the #YourWay challenge and supporters did that with enthusiasm, engagement, fundraising and raising awareness.

As Race Director for the Pedalthon events and several other charitable cycling events, it’s been a year of change. We need to stay true to what we believe. Having been touched personally with below the belt cancer in my family, my truth is to see a world with improved outcomes for patients, to see continued and improved personalised treatments, higher success rates and less to no side effects.

In 2021, I look forward to reconnecting on the race track and to see below the belt cancers given the funding they deserve, see your smiles and hear your laughter as you passionately ride your bikes for a cause greater than the bike itself”.

– Kent Williams, Entoure.
