Dog Walk for Cancer 2026

My target 50kms

Please sup-pawt me

This June, my dog Willow is leading the way as we take on Cancer Council’s 50km Dog Walk for Cancer challenge.

Almost 1 in 2 Australians will be diagnosed with cancer by age 85, so every step we take will help change that. With every wag, walkies and sniff stop, we're putting one paw in front of the other for a cause that matters.

Every kilometre my pup and I walk is for everyone who has heard, or will hear, the words “you have cancer”. And every dollar we raise together will help fund life-saving cancer research, prevention programs and essential support services for people impacted by cancer.

If you can, please donate to keep our paws moving and help tackle cancer alongside us. Because it’s all of us, humans and pups, in this together.

I'm taking part in this walk for every person in my life who has faced cancer - my mum, aunties, uncles, grandparents, cousins, family friends  and so many people close to my heart. I walk in memory of the loved ones we've lost, most importantly my dad, who we recently lost after months of fighting. 

Cancer has touched so many parts of my life and my family. This walk is for them - for their strength, their fight, their memory, and for hope that one day fewer families will have to experience this pain.
