The Challenge

In 2022, more than 20,000 Australians will be diagnosed with breast cancer, and more than 3,200 will die from it. But it doesn’t have to be that way. 

Join the National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF) in their goal to reach zero deaths from breast cancer by joining the NBCF Outback Trek Toward Zero Deaths in May 2023. You’ll take part in a Larapinta Trail walking adventure that explores some of the most spectacular parts of the Australian outback. In fact, this hike is one of the finest multi-day walking adventures anywhere in the world. Follow the trail through the West MacDonnell Ranges, take in the majesty of this exceptional landscape then sleep beneath the stars when night falls.
