You are invited to attend the launch of A2B4C - Craig Goozee's most ambitious ultra marathon departing Man O' War steps Friday 29 May 7.45am.
Join seven times World Surfing Champion, Layne Beachley, who will be paddling with Craig, Rugby Legend, Phil Kearns and Dr Andrew Rochford, resident medico on Channel NINE's 'What's Good For You', who will be there to wish Craig, 'Good luck' as he paddles across the harbor to Manly, escorted by a flotilla of well wishers, for the first leg of his journey.
Craig Goozee, an ambassador for Children's Cancer Institute Australia for Medical Research (CCIA), is not a famous athlete or celebrity. Yet on Friday 29 May 2009, he will set out on a three month 12,500km ultra marathon, starting at Australia Square and running, cycling, and kayaking around Australia to Bennelong Point, the long way round. Why? To honour the memory of his daughter, Jessica, who tragically passed away from cancer at the age of nine.
'This A2B4C marathon is the super-human effort of a dad trying to make a difference. He is an ordinary man doing something quite extraordinary,' Dr Clay, Associate Director at CCIA. Craig's journey will take him to towns all around Australia, returning to Sydney towards the end of August.
