  • Honour a Legacy: Walk in memory of Anya Zuber (2001-2020), whose wish to find safer treatments and better outcomes for osteosarcoma has inspired a movement that’s changing lives.
  • Create Impact: Every step you take supports Associate Professor Emmy Fleuren’s world-first Anya’s Wish research project at the Children’s Cancer Institute, developing better outcomes for young people diagnosed with osteosarcoma.
  • Make History: In just four years, our community has raised an incredible $930,969 for groundbreaking osteosarcoma research at the Children’s Cancer Institute. Help us reach our goal of $1.4 million by 2027.

The Power of Community

Together, we’re not just walking – we’re striding toward a future where children with cancer have better treatments, enhanced survivorship, and brighter tomorrows.

We are making a difference.
