Dive into SurFebruary: Riding Waves for Cancer Research at Chris O’Brien Lifehouse

5 February, 2025

This February, The team at Surf & Sun are hitting the water every single day for a cause that touches us all: cancer research. SurFebruary—a month-long initiative where we’re combining our love for the ocean with our commitment to making a difference.

Together, we’re raising funds for Chris O’Brien Lifehouse, a leading cancer treatment and research center, to support innovative research that benefits us all.

The Reality of Cancer: Why We’re Taking Action

Here’s a sobering fact: one in two of us will be affected by cancer in our lifetime. Whether it’s a loved one, a friend, or ourselves, cancer doesn’t discriminate. It’s a statistic that hits close to home for so many of us. But here’s the good news: we can do something about it.

Cancer research has come a long way, but there’s still so much more to be done. By supporting groundbreaking research at Chris O’Brien Lifehouse, we’re helping to develop new treatments, improve patient care, and ultimately save lives. Every dollar raised brings us one step closer to a future where cancer is no longer a life-threatening diagnosis.

What is SurFebruary?

SurFebruary is simple but powerful: every day in February, we’re hitting the waves—to raise awareness and funds for cancer research. Whether it’s a sunrise surf session or a sunset paddle, each day is a reminder of why we’re doing this: to make a tangible impact in the fight against cancer.

But we can’t do it alone. We need your support to make this initiative a success. Whether you’re a fellow surfer, a cancer survivor, or someone who simply wants to make a difference, there are so many ways to get involved.
