About

CEO Dare to Cure is your chance to make an impact and help us cure childhood cancer. Take on a dare challenge to demonstrate your support for kids with cancer at our one-day special event on Tuesday 23rd November 2021. 

The event will be held at the iconic Fleet Steps inside the beautiful Botanical Gardens overlooking the Opera House and Harbour Bridge. 

Please arrive at 6am for registration and check-in. The event will end at 9:30am.

Be ambitious. We are recommending a minimum pledge target of $5,000 for each participant however if you feel inspired, please feel free to increase this to whatever you aspire to. For each $2,600 raised, this is the equivalent of funding life-saving minimal residual disease testing for an Australian child at high chance of relapse from leukaemia.

Due to numbers, each participant will be able to take on one dare only.
