A Charles Sturt University (CSU) employee is hoping the local community will give generously to research to prevent bowel cancer as he and his brother prepare to tackle a 100 kilometre marathon. Mitchell Bowen from the University’s Division of Finance and his brother Brent plan to complete the Hume and Hovell Ultra Marathon Run on Saturday 19 October. In doing so, they will be raising money for the Cancer and Bowel Research Trust. They have set themselves a fundraising target of $1 000. The siblings from Wagga Wagga recently finished their first marathon, successfully undertaking the 42 kilometre Glenbrook Trail Marathon in the NSW Blue Mountains.  The brothers will start the marathon at the Henry Angel Trackhead, just south of Tumbarumba, and finish at the Blowering Dam Power Station near Tumut. Their support crew includes volunteers with the NSW State Emergency Service.You can follow their progress on Facebook here or support the brothers by donating here.
