Walk with us to honour loved ones, stand with families impacted by brain cancer, and help bring us closer to a cure.
Register NowWalk4BrainCancer Townsville is a chance to come together with friends, family and the local community to honour those we’ve lost, support people living with brain cancer and help fund vital research that can save lives.
Join us at Strand Park for a family-friendly walk.
Together, we will find a cure for brain cancer.

Join us for Townsville's Walk4BrainCancer to raise much-needed funds for brain cancer research.
Join us for a beautiful community walk starting from Strand Park, where you can choose between a 3km or 5km route. Both courses are pram and wheelchair friendly, making them accessible for people of all ages and abilities. Whether you’re walking with family, friends, or on your own, it’s a wonderful chance to come together for a meaningful cause.
We are establishing a Walk4BrainCancer event in Townsville after I was diagnosed with brain cancer last year. Having experienced the impact of this disease firsthand, we know how deeply it affects individuals, families and our wider community. Brain cancer remains one of the most under-researched cancers and is the leading cause of cancer-related death in children. We believe it deserves greater awareness, support and research funding in North Queensland, and hope to create a local event that brings our community together for this important cause.
Join Cure Brain Cancer Foundation for Walk4BrainCancer 2026, as we strive to rapidly increase brain cancer survival and improve the quality of life for people living with this disease. Our community is at the core of everything we do. We won’t stop until the cancer does.
“Until I was diagnosed with a brain tumour in 2017, I had no idea brain cancer kills more Aussie kids than any disease, and more young people under 40 than any other cancer. Walk4BrainCancer is so important in raising the funds and awareness we need to rapidly change those shocking stats.” – Johnny Ruffo
“I truly believe that together, hand in hand, we can all make a difference. Please join me in this important initiative that is very close to my heart & the hearts of many, including my wonderful family. Your support will be very heart felt and greatly appreciated.” – Kate Mitrovski
“The suffering my family were forced to endure was huge. I do not want anyone to have to experience the trauma of someone they know being diagnosed with this terrible illness. That’s why my family proudly participates in Walk4BrainCancer to raise funds for brain cancer research.” – Ben Gray
