This July, join a growing community of Australians stepping up to take on the Walk4Rita 2025 Step Challenge, an inspiring campaign that raises awareness and much-needed funds for pancreatic cancer research.
The challenge was launched in honour of Rita Agati, former HR Director at Viridian, who passed away in late 2021, just six months after being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Since its inception, Walk4Rita has become an annual tradition, driven by a determination to support improved diagnosis and outcomes for those affected by this devastating disease.
This year, participants will aim to complete 250,000 steps across the month of July. Walk4Rita is a challenge that encourages movement, motivation and connection, whether you choose to walk solo, form a team with friends or family, or take part through your workplace. Participants can track their steps through the MoveSpring app, with a one-time $31 registration fee that includes a commemorative t-shirt and cap to wear with pride throughout the month.
Funds raised through Walk4Rita go directly to the Jreissati Pancreatic Centre at Epworth Hospital, helping drive research into earlier detection, faster diagnosis, and better patient support. In just a few short years, this initiative has raised over $500,000, making a real impact in the fight against pancreatic cancer.
Whether you walk in honour of a loved one, to improve your own wellbeing, or to be part of something bigger than yourself, Walk4Rita offers a powerful way to get involved and give back. Every step brings us closer to change and helps carry forward the legacy of a remarkable woman who inspired so many. Ready to step up?
