iCan Challenge 2026
Raising money for the Good Friday Appeal
We are walking 50kms on Wed 1 April, 2026 to raise $100,000 for the Royal Children Hospital's Good Friday Appeal.
$39,794 raised so far!
TWO WEEKS to the iCan Challenge 2026
We are almost at $40,000!
Please share our Facebook posts, tell your friends and don't forget to sponsor us. Every cent counts and all donations over $2 are tax deductible.
Our final training walk will take place next week on Thu 26 Mar (Lewis Park). After that, we will have less than one week until we walk from Catani Gardens in St Kilda to Frankston Foreshore in one day!
We will be presenting the cheque at the Good Friday Appeal on Fri 3 April.
Practice Walk Tips
Our big training walk last Sunday tested our preparedness with most walkers having already established correct footwear, sun protection and clothing, and strapping heels and toes! Walkers - don't forget to bring the following things on the big day:
Backpack
1-2 litres of water (some walks may not allow for refilling)
Hat
Sunscreen
Sunglasses
Sturdy, comfortable walking shoes
Good socks
Nutritious Snacks to refuel
Rain jacket/umbrella in case of bad weather (we will walk if it rains)
A word on Nutrition
There will be five Aid Stations on our walk, where we will be able to briefly rest, bathroom and replenish our reserves. As well as first aid there will be some food and drink available that includes basic sandwiches, fruit, water & sports drink. Walkers are encouraged to also bring snacks such as protein bars, sandwiches and fruit. Lollies are good for needed sugar hit but not good enough for the whole day. Please have a good breakfast and bring nutritious options.
