This March, Cancer Council is encouraging everyone to set themselves a walking or running challenge for the duration of the month and feel the charge they get when they challenge themselves and fundraise to beat cancer.

Vital funds raised from The March Charge will help support Cancer Council’s ground-breaking cancer research across all cancers, provide practical and emotional support and information for anyone affected by cancer, and run prevention programs to reduce cancer in the community.

Charge as an individual or join other Chargers and compete as a team. By participating in The March Charge, you will be supporting thousands of people diagnosed with cancer each year and reduce your own cancer risk.

Around 37,000 Australian cancer cases (or one third of cancer cases) could be avoided each year by prevention measures alone. This includes regular physical exercise, maintaining a healthy body weight and enjoying a healthy diet¹.

Join The March Charge, fundraise for Cancer Council, reduce your cancer risk and feel the charge you get when you tell cancer where to go.
