About
Sunday 8th November
Bill's Walk is our annual 3.8km family friendly fundraising walk around The Tan to support Brain Cancer. This year's walk is scheduled to proceed based on current COVID restrictions in Melbourne. Join us at this special fundraising event and enjoy walking Melbourne's iconic Tan Track along the Yarra's edge and around the city's picturesque Royal Melbourne Botanical and Domain Gardens.
If you live outside the 25km radius and can't make it to the Tan Track, you can still participate by walking 3.8Kms at any location of your choice. Simply purchase your ticket(s) and use Strava to measure the distance you walk. (Download the free Strava App from your mobile device's app store to track your activity).

Post Walk Activities and Covid-Safe Planning:
- This year's event will be a little different due to COVID restrictions. Unfortunately there will be no pre and post event gatherings, and no event organised picnic activities or BBQ. There will be a choice of two morning session times with commencement of the walk staggered in small groups to comply with our COVID-Safe event plan. Maximuim 50 per session in small groups (limit 10 people from two households). We ask all participants to wear an approved face covering while attending this year's event and to practice responsible social distancing.
Bill Tingate is remembered for his courageous battle with brain cancer. He loved walking, taking on many challenges from Everest Base Camp to Mt. Kilimanjaro, and a lap of The Tan was always his favourite in his lunch breaks when he worked close by in South Melbourne.
By participating in Bill's Walk, you will help raise funds for The Alfred Hospital's Neurosugery Department - a lasting legacy Bill would be proud of! Each registration includes a tax deductible donation to the Bill Tingate Brain Cancer Foundation. You will also receive a versatile Bill's Walk 2020 event bandana!
Donations: Our event goal is to raise $5,000 for the Alfred Foundation to help support Brain Cancer care and research. The Bill Tingate Brain Cancer Foundation invites you to participate in this event and to share our fundraising page below with your family, friends and work mates. Please ask them to support your participation in this event by donating via our event webpage. All donations are tax deductable. BillsWalk.com
