Whether they are dealing with their own diagnosis, a close family member's cancer or the death of a loved one, Canteen provides:

• connection with peers in similar situations through events and programs

• free counselling and individual support

• 24/7 online support services for young

people and parents

• access to free information and resources

• specialist support services for young cancer patients

“I have been into fitness my whole life and was inspired by Ross Edgely (a British man who began a marathon pulling a 1400-kilogram car with the event dubbed "The World's Strongest Marathon"),” Ben said.

“I really decided to do it as a friend of mine lost their little brother to cancer, so this was my way of doing my part for the family.

“I have been primarily training with a Mazda two, but I am looking at how much bigger I would be able to go without going too silly.”

The week before the car pull Ben will be selling raffle tickets at his workplace of Burkes Hotel so make sure to go into the raffle and make your way to Tungamah on June 18 to witness this fantastic feat.

Yarrawonga local Ben Humphreys will be raising money in an unusual way, pulling a car 15km down the main street of Tungamah on Saturday, June 18 to raise money for Canteen.
