Our inaugural STEPS For Lymphoma Event 2024 was a huge success! Thank you to everyone who participated. Together we reached well over 30 million STEPS, taking us on a symbolic lap of Australia. We also raised an amazing $92,000. We look forward to 2025 being even bigger and better. We hope you can join us!Â
For many years Lymphoma Australia has been bringing the community together in March with our Legs Out events across the nation. These physically active events have helped to cultivate awareness of lymphoma, build connection between those impacted, as well as raise important funds to help Lymphoma Australia provide essential services. But we are also aware that not everyone has the capacity to join Legs Out events, for various reasons such as travel restrictions and physical demands.
So, this year we are shaking things up!
Lymphoma doesn’t discriminate, which is why we want to make sure that everyone – regardless of age, location or ability – has the opportunity to get involved and help ensure that no one faces lymphoma alone.
Introducing STEPS For Lymphoma
Our new virtual event allows us to come together to combine our steps, taking us all on a simulated journey around Australia throughout the month of March. It will take 30 million steps to complete a full lap of our incredible continent, so we need you to take up the challenge and be a part of something huge!
It’s easy and free! Create your fundraising page to share with family and friends to demonstrate your commitment to this important cause. Link your compatible fitness device to keep track of your steps once the challenge commences. There are great prizes to be won for those who reach fundraising and step targets – so what are you waiting for? The sooner you join, the sooner you can begin reaching your goals!
From March 1st, watch in real time as we collectively step our way around Australia – beginning in Brisbane where Lymphoma Australia originated.
Anyone can participate, for those who may be in the midst of treatment or recovery, you can step your way around the hospital ward or home with easily achievable step goals. For those who are able to push themselves, the possibilities are endless; aim for 10,000 steps every day, set a weekly target of 80,000 steps or set a massive overall goal of 500,000 steps for the month! Your goal is entirely up to you, with every small step making a huge difference.
The more passionate and dedicated you are to the challenge, the more your loved ones will want to support you and the Lymphoma Australia team are here to help by providing fundraising tips and tricks along the way. All funds raised will go directly towards providing access to information and services to help patients learn about their subtype, feel empowered, and to be supported by one of our Lymphoma Care Nurses.Â
Whether you want to raise awareness of the number one cancer in young people, want to help make a direct difference in the lives of those impacted by lymphoma, or are seeking to challenge yourself, we hope you are inspired to join Steps for Lymphoma this March. Take the first step today by signing up now!
The first 500 people to register and raise $100 each will receive a free one off STEPS t-shirt and there are other great prizes to be won.
