Paola & the Pink Bits

Walking Stars 2022

We're walking to help people facing cancer

We're shining bright for people facing cancer and walking 21km over one weekend with Walking Stars. 

Every year more than 35,000 Victorians hear the words ‘you have cancer’.  

Thanks in part to generous Victorians, 7 in 10 of them will survive five years after a cancer diagnosis, but there’s still so much work to be done.  

Cancer Council needs our support more than ever this year. Every dollar raised gives hope for a cancer free future. By supporting our walk, you’re funding life-saving cancer treatments, prevention programs, and support services that ensure no one has to face cancer alone.

Thank you to our Sponsors
