Next walk: Sunday 29th November 2026 Centennial Park
Purpose of the walk
Each year in Australia, 2-3 fit young people under the age of 35 die suddenly and unexpectedly from a cardiac arrhythmia. The shock and grief experienced by family and friends can be immeasurable.
Our annual walks began in 2022 and are an opportunity for families and friends who have lost a cherished young person to get together, share stories, information and make links with others in similar circumstances.
We wish to offer a big-hearted, warm welcome at this walk to all family and friends of people who have died in these circumstances. Bring whatever emotions and feelings you have – the deep sadness from the loss and the joy at having had this person in your life. Everybody is welcome.
Location
We have mapped out a beautiful route to walk through Centennial Park, and we will come together in the picnic area after the walk for lunch and some time together. If you prefer not to walk you can still come along and stay in the picnic area whilst others walk. The walk starts at One More Shot Pond, Centennial Park. Full details and map are available on the registration page.
