We're delighted that Trek2Cure is back for 2025!

Starting on June 1, 2025, the 7-day trek takes you across the Larapinta Trail—one of Australia's 7 Great Walks and a trail celebrated as one of the top 10 hikes globally. Experience the magic of ancient landscapes, serene waterholes, and stunning rock formations on this iconic journey.

If this incredible adventure is on your bucket list - now is a great time to sign-up and make your dream a reality.

Trek the trail and support children with neuroblastoma

We're once again teaming up with the trail specialists at Huma Charity Challenge to craft an unforgettable 7-day adventure that promises lifelong memories and enduring friendships.

Kicking off on June 1, 2025, you'll traverse one of Australia's most thrilling bush trails while supporting a vital cause—researching improved treatments and, ultimately, a cure for the aggressive childhood cancer neuroblastoma.

Meet our 2024 Trek2Cure adventurers

Jon and Belinda Birt, and Kerry Denman completed the trek in 2024, raising over $21,000 for Neuroblastoma Australia.
