We're proud to partner with Walk with Lifehouse, for another coast trek challenge benefitting Chris O'Brien Lifehouse. We're working closely with Lifehouse on all things walk-related, to ensure 200 walkers have the best route, most thorough preparation and safest experience.
The Chris O'Brien Lifehouse walk is an annual 28 kilometre fundraising walk along the Royal National Park's Coast Track.

Ian and I will be there, along with our team of professional hiking guides, to support and encourage you on the track. We've got your back, so that Lifehouse can do what they do best: world-class patient focused cancer care near Royal Prince Alfred Hospital.
Gail O'Brien, wife of the late Professor Chris O’Brien (AO), walked in 2017. Gail's personal story of how she found meaning in her life after the devastation of her husband's illness is inspiring.

The walk will start at Otford lookout, down through Palm Jungle, and pausing at Garie Beach for morning tea. Then a quick re-fuel at Wattamolla before setting off for the finish line feast at Bundeena, walking via Wedding Cake Rock.

It's challenging – we usually suggest this 28km track as a more relaxed two day walk – but that's the whole point. Your sense of achievement and of making a difference will skyrocket with the effort.

I recommend bringing a camera as the views (and camaraderie) will keep you going.
