Annual Gift of Life Walk
Event location
Description
Organiser: Gift of Life Incorporated
The Annual Gift of Life Walk in Canberra is to raise awareness on organ and tissue donation registration. The walk starts at 7am and is free to sign up on our website. We have free t-shirts, hats and dog bandanas to give away. We'll also have free coffees and a BBQ breakfast. Over 1800 Australians are on the waitlist for a life-saving transplant and only 26% of Canberrans are registered to be a donor. The Walk is about raising awareness and starting the conversation to save lives. (It is not a fundraiser). Gift of Life Inc is a registered charity in the ACT.
