Join The Better Challenge Today and do Better for Kids’ Cancer Research

It's not too late to take on The Kids’ Cancer Project’s Better Challenge! Join this fitness and fundraising challenge in September and run or walk 90km to support vital kids’ cancer research.

Every kilometre helps fund research into better treatments, better outcomes and a better future for children with cancer, with 90 Aussie kids diagnosed every month.

Better Challenge 2026: Do Better for Kids’ Cancer Research

September might already be underway, but it’s not too late to take on the Better Challenge!

This health and fitness challenge is calling on Australians to run or walk 90km during September while raising funds for vital kids’ cancer research - and every step you take represents the 90 Aussie kids diagnosed with cancer every single month.

Take on the 90km Challenge

September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, making it the perfect time to lace up, get moving and do something better for kids with cancer.

You can take on the challenge at your own pace, whether that means a daily walk around the neighbourhood, a morning run or getting the whole family involved in some weekend kilometres.

How to Get Involved

1. Sign up
Commit to 90km this September and help raise awareness and funds for kids’ cancer research.

2. Share your challenge
Set up your fundraising page and share it with family, friends and your community to help raise vital funds.

3. Get moving
Walk or run your 90km throughout September and track your progress through your dashboard.

Score a Better Challenge T-shirt

There’s also an extra incentive to get those kilometres moving. Raise $90 or more by midnight on 15 September, and you’ll receive a Better Challenge T-shirt to wear while you clock up your kilometres. It’s a limited offer, so there’s no time to waste.

Whether you tackle the full 90km solo, rally your family and friends or turn your daily walk into a fundraising mission, every kilometre counts. Join now!
