Get involved. Make an impact.

Now in it's fourth year in Melbourne, CEO Dare to Cure returns on the 17th October to the Timber Yard, for another amazing morning of hair-raising dares!

The brave CEOs and business leaders will be submerged in ice, some will have two-metre pythons slithering over their bodies, while others will walk over 500-degree burning embers and jagged shards of broken glass!

This truly unique and iconic event is unlike anything else in Australia. Funds raised for Children’s Cancer Institute as part of CEO Dare to Cure will support groundbreaking research into improving survival rates for the 1,000 children diagnosed with cancer in Australia every year.
