If you haven't heard of a guy called Rob Dyer or his foundation 'Skate 4 Cancer' yet then you should!!! Rob is an amazing young skateboarder from Canada whose life has been touched several times by cancer. Unlike many others who suffer through the same experiences Rob felt that he had to try to do something to help the only way he knew how - to skate!
Skate 4 Cancer is a non-profit organisation that embraces the idea that knowledge is a huge factor is preventing many forms of cancer and that we should all be more aware of what we can do to fight it. Rob has previously completed several skates across America and Canada to bring awareness to his cause as well as travelling on tours with bands including Alexisonfire, Deftones and Silverstein among many others in order to reach out to young people and actively spread knowledge on a subject he feels passionate about.
Rob and the S4C crew are currently undertaking their biggest challenge to date: a skate across Australia (outback and all!!!). He will be regularly updating his blog (http://www.skate4cancer.com/) so you can keep track of their journey and Atticus Australia will also be meeting up with the Skate 4 Cancer crew in the next few weeks to chat to them about their journey.
In the mean time check out their latest video blog from the road...
