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 86km challenge to the 86 kids diagnosed with cancer each month in Australia. Walking these 86 kilometers is a small reflection of the enormous courage shown every day by children fighting cancer and the families who stand beside them. Today, I walk for you. I walk with you.
