Craig Goozee

Childhood Cancer Institute of Australia ambassador Craig Goozee paddles his sea kayak up the Yarra river at dawn on day 73 of his 93-day marathon around Australia, 14 August 2009.

Goozee is attempting to raise one million Australian dollars for childhood cancer research; his epic journey is in memory of his daughter Jessica who died of cancer aged nine.
