Fitness professionals and their clients in Victoria can celebrate their own lives or the strength and courage of Australians with blood cancer by joining the Leukaemia Foundation for a gentle celebratory 4.7km walk, jog or run around Albert Park Lake on Sunday 18 November, from 10:45am to 1pm.

Whether you ‘Leg it’ in celebration of your own health or for loved ones, survivors, carers or even medical staff - it’s a chance to acknowledge all the important people in the cancer journey. By joining the ‘Leg it’ event you will be showing your support for patients who have fought or are fighting leukaemia, lymphoma, myeloma or other blood cancers.

Celebrity participants at the event will include ESPN Sports Presenter, Tiffany Cherry; Coxy’s Big Break presenter, Kelly Landry; Channel Nine’s Kids WB hosts, Shura Taft and Georgia Sinclair, and TV personality Pete Lazar.

The day is designed to be fun for all the family and will include a warm up laughter session, celebrity autographs, special appearance by the Leukaemia Foundation’s mascot, ‘Lucky Bear’, face painting, a sausage sizzle, crowd giveaways and a free show bag.

Funds raised will assist the Leukaemia Foundation to fund vital research and provide free services to patients and their families. Entry costs $15 or $50 for a team of four people. Extra funds can be raised through sponsorship.
