Young person with cancer in triathlon fundraiser

Submitted by Analytics oa on

Updated 6 September 2024 - Félix died of cancer in 2024 and is greatly missed by all of us at Canteen. He was deeply passionate about raising awareness of the support that's available for young people impacted by cancer through Canteen. Félix’s family, his partner Lulu and his many friends continue to kindly and generously support Canteen in his memory. His family has asked that we continue to share his story to honour his legacy.

 

 

Félix was diagnosed with a rare tumour in his chest on Christmas Day in 2021. He has had surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy to remove the tumour, which have all so far been unsuccessful. Despite this - and while still undergoing radiotherapy - Félix wants to give back and is taking part in the Huskisson Triathlon with eight friends to raise funds for Canteen.

Félix took part in the Huskisson Triathlon at the end of February with eight friends and so far they have raised more than $55,000 for Canteen!

Ahead of the triathlon Félix was interviewed on The Morning Show about his incredible story, how Canteen has supported him and his incredible triathlon effort.
