The Wellness Walk and Research Run

Funds raised will support cancer research breakthroughs and provide access to world leading wellness and supportive care programs, giving patients hope during their cancer diagnosis, treatment and recovery.

At the Olivia Newton-John Cancer Wellness & Research Centre we are committed to
delivering the very best in research, patient care, and world leading wellness and supportive care programs. We put our patients at the heart of everything we do. This
includes focusing on their mind and spirit and not just on their bodies.

Event Village:

A new event village will be created this year, set on Engineers Lawn, Boathouse Drive for all to enjoy. Yoga sessions will be available on event day, live music, giveaways, food trucks and lots of great displays and activities provided by our sponsors and event partners

This year marks the 7th year of operation. In 2018 we had over 3500 people attend the event raising just over $600,000 for the centre. This year we want to see more than 6,000 attend and raise $1 million.
