Your impact
At Children’s Cancer Institute, our belief is that a life should be long. That every child should have the chance to grow up and grow old. To plan exciting futures, chase their dreams, and fulfil their potential.
But cancer cuts life short for hundreds of children every year, before they’ve even had the chance to make their mark. Here in Australia, 86 kids are diagnosed with cancer each month.
Everything we do at Children’s Cancer Institute is about helping more kids with cancer not only survive, but go on to live long, healthy lives.
When you join 86K for a Cure, you walk or run for the 86 children who are diagnosed with cancer each month.
Every step you take, every kilometre you conquer will support vital research to pioneer safer, more targeted treatments for children with cancer, because every child deserves the chance to plan exciting futures, chase their dreams and fulfil their potential.
Together, we can and we will cure every child of cancer. It’s not if, it’s when.

I’m dedicating my 258km challenge to the 86 children diagnosed with cancer every month in Australia. Alongside my two incredible friends, we’re giving this challenge everything we’ve got to raise vital funds for these brave kids and their families. Our team, Miles for Smiles, is walking each kilometre with purpose and love. With every step, we hope to bring comfort, support, and most of all, smiles to the beautiful little faces facing battles no child should ever have to endure. If our miles can help make even the smallest difference, then every step will be worth it
