The Weekend to End Women's Cancers™ is a two-day, fully supported walking adventure. The event is not a race and is open to all fitness levels. It's 60 kilometres over two days and participants will walk alongside many cancer survivors, as well as others who have been touched by cancer.
There are four different weekends across the country, each benefitting a different cancer charity:
- Brisbane - 24/25 October - benefitting the QIMR Berghofer Medical Research Institute
- Sydney - 7/8 November 2015 - Efforts in NSW will support Chris O'Brien Lifehouse.
- Perth - 2/3 April, 2016 - Harry Perkins Institute of Medical Research
- Melbourne - 16/17 April, 2016 - benefitting Peter Mac (Peter MacCallum Cancer Foundation)
The Weekend to End Women's Cancers™ is simply a Weekend to remember those lives we have lost to breast or gynecologic cancer and a weekend to celebrate the lives survivors and an opportunity for individuals to engage with each other and form a team if they wish.
The event is fully supported with snacks, meals, pit stops, support vehicles, and a fantastic overnight camp complete with massages, bar, dinner, hot showers and entertainment.
Chris O'Brien Lifehouse is asking companies to put forward teams for the event and will come into workplace to give a 30-minute information session to talk through the event and help teams prepare their fundraising pages and plans and participation. They also provide helpful coaches and training assistance in the run up to the event.
What are the benefits of forming a corporate team?
Encourage Team Building
Employees will train and fundraise together for a common cause, building camaraderie and team spirit across different departments. Imagine how proud and united your team will feel when they cross the finish line!
Promote Health & Well-Being Of Employees
Studies show that people who regularly practice proper nutrition and exercise regularly tend to stave off illness and are more productive in the workplace. Walking is a safe and effective exercise for all ages and fitness levels – all you need is a pair of shoes!
Raise Corporate Visibility In The Community
The hard work and motivation of employees will be seen as a goodwill gesture within the local community and will translate into increased brand awareness, aligning the company with both health and wellbeing and community involvement and identifying it as a brand that is prepared to act in the fight to end women’s cancers.
This is a Weekend creating hope for every woman's future.
