WALK DAILY
Read all the news, updates and some inspiring stories from our fantastic Walk to Fight Cancer participants!
WHAT?
Walk to Fight Cancer is a virtual walking challenge. Participants choose how far they think they can go in 10 days and ask their friends and family to sponsor them.
WHEN & WHERE?
The event took place between 12 and 21 October 2023. Participants completed their challenge wherever they wished – on their favourite hikes, or even on a treadmill.
WHY?
So that participants – and their supporters – could play their part in the search for cancer cures by raising much-needed funds for vital cancer research at Peter Mac.
A big cheer for all our fantastic fundraisers! Thank you so much for everything you’ve done to help give people with cancer the best chance of a cure.

“Peter Mac go above and beyond to assist in anything we need.”
Meg Moloney’s dad, Kevin, was first diagnosed with cancer in 2016, when he found a lump on his neck. The lump proved to be skin cancer that had infected his lymph nodes. He was referred to Peter Mac and started treatment straight away. Then in 2019, while Kevin was at one of his regular check-ups, the doctors noticed that the skin cancer had spread from his neck to his head. He was put on to a second course of treatment immediately. It was at that stage that Meg was inspired to get involved with Walk to Fight Cancer and raise funds for the organisation that was doing so much for her dad.
Kevin is now fighting his third round of cancer, and continues to receive care and treatment from Peter Mac. Meg says:
“As a family, we don’t know what we would have done without Peter Mac’s support. They call us to catch up, they share information with us – they go above and beyond to assist in anything we need.”
