Teens to Raise Money in Skateboarding Marathon for Cancer Research

A very resourceful teen from Ontario, Canada, will be skating across North America to Canada to help raise funds for cancer research.

Skate4Cancer is a marathon that will begin in Los Angeles and end in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

Beginning in early March, Robert Dyer, Kyle Massaar and a group of friends plan to visit skateparks to promote Skate4cancer and to raise awareness of cancer research and funds for the Canadian Cancer Society.

Robert Dyer will be skateboarding the distance--around 5,000 miles from Los Angeles to Canada. He is working with a personal trainer every morning. What's more he is following a diet and exercise program to prepare himself for the marathon, which will include trekking through the desert and the rockies.

The gang has already been hosting events to collect donations for the supplies and equipment they will need for the trip, including propane stoves, Hammocks, flashing Lights, tents, coolers, microwave, fridge, and several propane tanks. They will be dedicating their journey to their heroes, Tony Hawk and Terry Fox, and to cancer victims everywhere. Rob will dedicate The first and last kilometer of the trip to the memory of Wendy M. Dyer.
