The Big Three make it three for MHF

This June will mark the third time the Big Three 150km Trek has been walked between Newcastle and Sydney, raising awareness and funds for MHF. 

Since their first trek in 2021, the team has grown from 26 to 61 trekkers consisting of a special mix of brain cancer warriors, family and friends of those that have fought or still fighting this awful disease as well as loyal Big Three trekkers, sports stars and media personalities. Following the journey are an amazing support crew providing all the essentials from coffee to massages!

Over $280,000 has been raised for MHF via the Big Three Trek with the team hoping to beat last year’s total of $180,000 and are well on the way to exceeding this!

To celebrate the launch of the NRL Beanie for Brain Cancer Round, the Big Three and MHF team will join hundreds of sports and media personalities in walking from the Sydney Cricket Ground to The Sydney Opera House on Monday, June 26. The 5km walk also provides an opportunity to promote the efforts of the 60 plus trekkers and the challenge ahead of them.

Friday, June 30 the trekking group will set off from McDonald Jones Stadium to walk 150km over three days before walking into 4 Pines Park, Sydney on Sunday ahead of the Manly v Roosters clash!

Thank you to the Big Three sponsors for their continued support – Laundy Hotels, Steel City, Piccacino Mobile Café, O’Neills, Pain Away and Balance Water.
