Kook Warriors

Share my page

We're fundraising for...

The Kook Warriors are taking part in Surfebruary because cancer doesn’t politely wait for a convenient time — it crashes in, interrupts life, and changes everything. So this February, we’re choosing to interrupt our own flow. We’re getting in the water, stepping out of our routines, and doing something that challenges us — just like cancer challenges so many families every single day.

Every one of us has been touched by cancer in some way. Some of us have faced it ourselves. Others have stood beside someone we love, holding their hand through appointments, treatments, fear, hope, and heartbreak. Those journeys change you. They unite you. And they remind you how important research truly is.

We’re surfing not just for the waves — but for progress. For better treatments. For better outcomes. For more time.

We all want to see a cure, and research is the key.

See you in the water  🌊

Well done to the whole team. I’m so proud of all of you. Thankyou so much for dedicating your time to such an incredible cause. I lost my beautiful dad to lung cancer in 2021. Cancer is a devastating disease and I really hope in the near future that all types of cancers will be curable and we can spent more time with our beautiful loved ones. From the bottom of my heart Thankyou Sal and team. It’s means the world to me that you are all working so hard to support such a horrible disease . Rest in peace dad,my life will be never be the same without you. 🙏🏼
