How it works
Walk or run for Cancer Council this March and raise funds for life-saving cancer research.
Choose to Charge solo or get your friends, family, or colleagues together and do it as a team – it’s up to you.
Feel the Charge you get when you tell cancer where to go!
Alan
Alan was diagnosed with mouth cancer and going through radiotherapy in January and February last year.
He Charged the following month!
“I saw The March Charge as an immediate opportunity to express thanks and give back for the support I’d recently received via Cancer Connect”
Alan reached his 100km goal in just the first 15 days of March, so decided to shoot for 200km… and he got there!
Megan
Megan has been supporting Cancer Council since 2003!
She Charges for her family and friends and 'for all who have been touched by this disease.'
'What I most love about being involved in The March Charge is that it's giving us hope, hope for a cancer free future'
Megan has Charged and raised over $14,527 throughout the past 5 years.
Alex
Alex was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2020 and signed up to Charge in March 2021 as motivation to exercise through treatment.
Spending multiple days in bed recovering from chemo, as well as looking after a 17-month-old was a rough ride.
"It was a good opportunity to raise money for a cause important to me and keep me on track with exercise during chemo."
Alex is now 5 months out of active treatment.
Ryan
At 25, Rebecca was diagnosed with stage IV ovarian cancer, and in 2020 decided to take on The March Charge alongside 11 of her amazing friends from work.
Sadly Rebecca passed away that same year. In 2021 her husband Ryan continued the Charge in her honour to keep her legacy and message alive.
'Bec was inspired to raise as much awareness and money as possible for research into an early detection test so that no other woman has to walk this path... and now it’s my turn to do the same.'
Ryan raised an incredible $7,006.
Amanda
Last year was Amanda's 3rd March Charge, inspired by her mum, who passed away 10 years ago from breast cancer.
“I tore my hamstring earlier in the year, so I couldn’t up my KMs as planned but I was determined to take part again. I just remember the strength my mum had – she was such a strong lady – and it keeps me going.”
Amanda Charged 271 KMs and raised an amazing $847!
