MHF Top End Trek Raises $520,000!


After waiting so long to strap on their boots our trekkers finally set off, riding, hiking and paddling over 500kms through the vastness and beauty of Kakadu, Katherine Gorge, Jatbula and Litchfield National Parks.

Each night as the pain set in from the days efforts, stories were shared of patient struggles and how our Brain Cancer Care Coordinators are making a difference in their lives, inspiring our trekkers to get up and get through another day.

Through the gruelling conditions there were some highlights such swimming at Edith Falls, getting up close and personal with the big crocs and learning about country and indigenous culture on Arnhem Land.

These men will be bonded forever by this unforgettable experience that has led them to an incredible result of raising over $500,000. These funds will ensure that our Care Coordinators can continue their amazing work assisting patients and their families on their brain cancer journey.

Thank you to our trekkers, sponsors, organisers and everyone that supported and donated to our 2022 MHF Top End Adventure Challenge. Where to next…?
