FAQs

There is no fee to register for the Walk for Love. 

All we ask is when you sign-up you make a gift from your heart. Your donation will ensure that each patient and their family receive care that is individual and meaningful. 

If you would like to do more, we would love you to go one step further and fundraise for us, by asking your friends, family and work colleagues to make a small donation towards our work. We know, from past experience, that most people are pleased to be asked and many will respond to support something that is important to you.

To register, it is as simple as clicking the 'Register' button at the top of our website and following the prompts. There will be options for registering to Walk for Love, to Do Your Own walk or to Walk for Me. 

Please ensure you are only registering yourself and those who you live with. All other family, friends and colleagues will need to complete their own registration. Don't worry - even when registering as an individual you are able to create a team to invite your loved ones to join, you can all walk together even with separate registrations!

If you need help registering please contact our office on 08 8239 0119 during business hours and we can talk you through the process.

If you have registed for Walk for Love or to Do Your Own, you will receive a Registration Pack via the post which includes your bib to wear on the day and an event guide containing all of the information you need to know about the Walk for Love. 

If you are one of the FIRST 400 to donate and register for Walk for Love you will qualify for a commemorative 2024 Walk for Love beanie. If you have purchased merchandise during the registration process and requested that it is posted to you, you will receive this with your registration pack.

If you donated to have a student walk for you in 'Walk for Me', shortly after the day of the Walk, you will receive a photo of the student walking in memory of your loved one, bearing your loved one's name on their bib. 

Please note - If you register after 13 May 2024, your registration pack will need to be collected from the Event Info Tent at the Walk.
