Thanks to your amazing support, the realisation of 'Anya's Wish' is actually happening.

 

Through funds already raised, the Children's Cancer Institute has been able to develop innovative ways of growing osteosarcoma cells in the lab and to investigate novel drug treatments.

 

'Anya's Wish' is a research project that is making a difference. We are so proud of the advances, but we still need your help. We are making this happen for Anya and we'd just love you to join us again this year!

​

Together we have already raised $815,000.

 

Our goal for the 2024 19 for 19 Challenge is $200,000.

 

It's on again!

​

  • When is the walk on and what time does it start?

​

  • Where is the walk being held?

* Tour de Rocks (19 for 19 Committee) are delighted to announce a new 'exclusive access' 19km for this year's 2024 19 for 19 walk.

In keeping with the spectacular New England gorge country, this year the walk will encompass three stunning properties, "Victoria Park", "Mt McDonald" and "By Gorge", each with unique vistas across the escarpment to the finish line at the magnificent Dangar's Falls.

​

  •  How do I get there?

* Buses have been organised to take everyone to and back from the Event site. 

* Buses will depart at 6:00am, 6:15am, 6:30am and last bus 6:45am.

There is NO parking at the event site. The bus is the only form of transport. This is to lessen the impact on the roads and to protect the paddocks.

​
