About
Steps for Second Chances is a community walking event held at Sydney Olympic Park that uses light, sound and movement to make the experience of waiting for an organ or stem cell transplant visible. Participants move through thousands of lights, each representing a person currently waiting, transforming abstract statistics into something human and felt.
The event exists because waiting is invisibl, but it shouldn’t be. Founded by siblings born with a rare genetic autoimmune condition, Steps for Second Chances turns awareness into action, encouraging people to register as donors and give others the chance they were once waiting for.
