Home » Events » Let’s WALK for NETs

Let’s WALK for NETs! was a 6 week VIRTUAL walk developed by NeuroEndocrine Cancer Australia to help keep patients, carers, healthcare front-liners and the general public motivated during these unprecedented times.

This is a special page dedicated to tracking our weekly stats and a collection of images shared from our beautiful online community from all around Australia. 

Our 6 week challenge run from the 10th April until the 22nd May, 2020. Collectively we walked over 65 million steps (almost 50,000km)   #LetsWALKforNETs
