Founded in 2017 by husband and wife Arron and Jenna-Lea Clark, SurFebruary is a charity event that inspires participants to catch a wave a day throughout February. Participants are encouraged to raise money for cancer care in partnership with Chris O'Brien Lifehouse.

Recently, the IA Foundation were pleased to donate $5,000 to the Chris O’Brien Lifehouse on behalf of SurFebruary. The $5,000 donation was presented to Dr Judith Lacey who is the Head of Supportive Care and Integrative Oncology at Chris O’Brien Lifehouse, accompanied by Matthew Counsel from Altius Group, Jenna Clark from SurFebruary and Sophie Beer of Insurance Advisernet.

The Chris O’Brien Lifehouse is a not-for-profit, comprehensive cancer hospital. From screening to prevention, diagnosis, treatment and wellness, they specialise in advanced care for patients with cancer, including the most rare and complex cases. Each year they treat over 57,000 patients from across Australia, using the latest technology in a modern, purpose-built hospital.

The funds donated by the IA Foundation will go towards providing evidence-based complementary therapies in partnership with clinical care delivered by Chris O’Brien Lifehouse. Given the expense of cancer treatment, these funds will provide access to those who otherwise could not afford it.
