A cancer diagnosis is hard enough.

For patients like Josh, who live in regional areas, the distance to treatment, cost of travel and separation from their families can make a difficult time so much more challenging.  

When you Go the Distance this September, you'll be raising funds to help more regional patients access world-class care at Chris O'Brien Lifehouse.  

Choose a distance. Challenge yourself. Go as far as you can to bring cancer care closer to home for regional Australians.

How far will you go?  

Choose from a number of distances that patients travel to Chris O'Brien Lifehouse or select your own goal.  

90km: Gosford to
Chris O'Brien Lifehouse

This is the length of Josh's journey to treatment. At 3km per day, it's a walk to a local cafe or a couple of swims at the beach.

130km: Sthn Highlands to
Chris O'Brien Lifehouse

At just under 5km per day, you can challenge yourself to a daily jog, bike ride or skate around the park.

250kms: Orange to Chris O'Brien Lifehouse 

Level up your challenge and commit to 8.5km a day. Or team up with friends and split the distance!

490kms: Port Macquarie to
Chris O'Brien Lifehouse

16km a day isn't for the faint-hearted - so why not rally your mates and tackle this epic challenge as a team?
