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 made a difference.

 

Our goal for the 2025 19 for 19 Challenge is $200,000.

 

It's on again!

​

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

* Sunday 19th October 2025.

* 5:45am - Registration and T-Shirt & Bucket Hat Collection at the Armidale Visitors Information Centre.

* 7:00am - 19km and 7.5km event starts, after Welcome to Country.

* All walkers should have completed the course by 2:30pm.

* Buses will be ready to return you to the Armidale Visitors Information Centre.

​

• Where is the walk being held?

* In keeping with the spectacular New England gorge country, this year the walk will again 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.

​

* There will be two walks again this year:

* 19km walk.

* 7.5km family / childrens walk.
