Walking for Kai

2026 Heart & Sole - Newcastle

We’re walking in Heart & Sole Walk for Sick Kids to help families stay close

We’re taking part in Heart & Sole – Walk for Sick Kids to help families stay close when it matters most.

When a child is seriously ill or injured, everything changes. Being close to the hospital can make an incredibly tough time just that little bit easier.

That’s why we’re taking on the 20km walk and raising funds to support families staying close to their child’s care.

Support helps provide a place to stay, meals and wrap around care for families across Northern NSW.

Around $190 can help support a family for one night.

If you’re able to, we’d really appreciate your support.

Thank you — it means a lot to all of us.

Thank you to our Sponsors

Glad to help such a wonderful cause. Dad was chairman of Bandage Bear foundation to raise money for Westmead Children’s Hospital. He was very committed & raised over $10 million prior to his death. He was awarded an OAM for his work & his name appears on the hall of benefactors at the hospital

I don't get why McDonalds needs old ladies to walk 20km in order to raise money for their charity. This is a company that generates 8 billion dollars of profit annually. But whatever, here's 20 bucks.
