Put Your Foot Down and make a real impact for pancreatic cancer

Location Details

Dixon Park, Merewether Beach

Our inaugural Put Your Foot Down Newcastle walk is being held on the iconic Merewether Beach and we’re inviting the Newcastle community to join us in creating a national movement in 2022 to help advocate for more funding and action for pancreatic cancer.

Our Put Your Foot Down walks are a fun way to start your Sunday morning by raising awareness and funds for pancreatic cancer with your local community.

We encourage all our walkers to dress passionately in purple with family, friends and four-legged friends to walk in memory or celebration of loved ones and come together for support, all while raising critical funds for pancreatic cancer research.

The 4km walk will be along the picturesque Merewether Beach and prizes will be awarded for the best dressed and highest fundraisers.

Funds raised from our Put Your Foot Down walks go toward helping achieve our mission of dramatically increasing survival rates and quality of life for those impacted by pancreatic cancer.

Get your purple outfits ready and join us at Dixon Park on 18 September

Fundraise for people living with pancreatic cancer

Fundraising fuels medical research which is critical to improving outcomes for pancreatic cancer patients and their families. Your fundraising efforts provide hope to those impacted by the disease and drive our ongoing research program, providing Australia’s best researchers an opportunity to work towards a possible future without pancreatic cancer. Fundraising is also easy and lots of fun!
