The Weekend to End Women's Cancers® benefiting the QIMR Berghofer Medical Research Institute (QIMR Berghofer) is a Weekend you'll never forget. It's a Weekend to remember those lives we have lost to breast or gynaecologic cancer and a Weekend to celebrate the lives we are saving.

Proceeds from The Weekend will support groundbreaking, critical cancer research at QIMR Berghofer. QIMR Berghofer researchers are working to develop accurate diagnostics as well as new, targeted treatments and much more.

Be a part of our celebration on 24-25 October, 2015.

For Walkers, the Weekend is an experience that begins the day you register to participate. This is when you will receive your very own Web page and have access to all the tools available in your participant centre. This is when you'll set your fundraising goal, begin preparing for the physical challenge, and become a true part of our Weekend Family.

Day One (Saturday)

The energy and enthusiasm build on Saturday morning as Walkers assemble for check-in, enjoy a continental breakfast, and warm-up with stretching before the inspirational Opening Ceremonies. During Ceremonies, we'll commemorate those who have lost their battle to cancer and celebrate the lives that are being saved because of your participation.

The walk then begins as you journey approximately 30km through some of the most beautiful and interesting areas of Brisbane. Along the way, you'll be fully supported with pit stops, snacks, hydration stations, relaxing lunch, cheering crowds, and staff to ensure your safety.

The day's walk ends upon arrival at Camp where you'll be cheered in by supporters. But the fun doesn't stop there! You will enjoy a relaxing massage, a hot catered dinner, and medical TLC, if required. Plus, you'll enjoy entertainment and dancing until lights out. For 2 days walkers, an enjoyable camp equipped with hot showers and 2-person tents will be provided.

Each 1 day walker commits to raising a minimum of $1200 per person in order to participate in the event.

Day Two (Sunday)

For 2 day walkers, after a hot breakfast, you will enjoy another day of approximately 30km and receive all the same support as on Day One. When you arrive at the Finish Line you will receive a hero's welcome from friends, family, and the community who are there to celebrate your amazing achievement-- not only for completing 60kms, but also for the difference the money you raise is making in the lives of their families and friends affected by women's cancers. The Weekend concludes with Closing Ceremonies to honour, thank, and celebrate you for your tremendous achievement towards ending ALL women's cancers.

Each 2 day walkers commits to raising a minimum of $2,000 per person in order to participate in the event.
