Join Us for a Walk That Changes Lives: The Fifth Annual 19 for 19 Challenge

On Sunday, October 19th, 2025, be part of something extraordinary. Walk 19km or 7.5km across three spectacular New England private properties and help transform the future of children's cancer research.

Why Join Us?

• Make History: In just four years, our community has raised an incredible $924,890 for groundbreaking osteosarcoma research at the Children's Cancer Institute. Help us reach our goal of $1.4 million by 2027.

• Experience Beauty: Journey through breathtaking New England landscapes rarely open to the public, joining walkers and runners united in purpose and hope.

• Create Impact: Every step you take supports Associate Professor Emmy Fleuren's world-first research at the Children's Cancer Institute, developing better treatments for children battling osteosarcoma.

• Honour a Legacy: Walk in memory of Anya Zuber (2001-2020), whose wish to find safer treatments and better outcomes for osteosarcoma has inspired a movement that's changing lives.

The Power of Community

As Scott Group, one of our founding sponsors, shares: "Each year, we've witnessed the remarkable enthusiasm grow. The 19 for 19 Challenge has fostered incredible camaraderie and engagement, uniting our community for an impact that reaches far beyond our region."

Together, we're not just walking - we're striding toward a future where children with cancer have better treatments, enhanced survivorship, and brighter tomorrows.

We are making a difference.
