Are you ready to join the Cherish trekker community, where every step taken is a step towards finding kinder treatments and improved outcomes for women with gynaecological cancer.
Trekking for a difference
Every step you take and dollar you raise will fund clinical research that results in kinder treatments for women with gynaecological cancer
Each year in Australia, over 6,700 women and girls are diagnosed with gynaecological cancer, and one-third of these women face difficult odds. Every step you take and every dollar you raise helps Cherish fund vital research that results in kinder and more effective gynaecological cancer treatments for women.
Cherish is committed to giving every woman hope and a better chance of surviving gynaecological cancer by funding high-priority clinical trials that advance treatment, diagnosis, and prevention.
These treks are more than physical challenges—they are essential in raising awareness about gynaecological cancer, which remains widely unrecognised and misunderstood. Research is our most powerful tool to change this and improve survival rates.
Each journey brings together people from all walks of life to push their limits, forge deep connections, and raise vital funds and awareness.
Join us in this mission to cherish the women you love. Together, we can make a difference.

Cherish's Mission
Give every woman hope and a vibrant chance for surviving gynaecological cancer by funding research into clinically prioritised trials for treatments, diagnosis and prevention.
Cherish Women’s Cancer Foundation is dedicated to transforming the standard of care for women and girls diagnosed with gynaecological cancer. While we can’t change a cancer diagnosis, we are committed to creating a kinder tomorrow by funding life-changing clinical trials and research. Our goal is to find causes, develop prevention strategies and gentler treatment options for future generations.
Women’s gynaecological health is often surrounded by shame, stigma and embarrassment, making it a taboo subject. But the more we talk about it and raise awareness of gynaecological cancer symptoms, the earlier cancers can be detected and diagnosed—giving more women a fighting chance.
Join us in cherishing the women you love. Together, we can make a difference.
