That's why this Step Up for NF, we’re encouraging participants to host a Group Walk or activity event during March. Bring your friends, family, workplace or school community together. Wear blue and green. Start conversations. Make NF visible in your local area.
Virtual challenges are powerful, but connection adds another layer. When people walk side by side, it creates a sense of community that can often be missing online. It reminds families living with NF that they are not alone.
You can host a walk anywhere — a local park, beach path, school oval or lunchtime lap around the office. Keep it simple. Keep it welcoming. Make it yours. And if you don't want to walk, then switch it up - perhaps a group swim at the beach or local pool, a round of golf, a group gym session - whatever works for you!
If you’d like your group walk/activity listed here so others nearby can join, let us know.
Please find below details of group walks and activities that you might like to join. If you are planning on hosting your own - any day in March, please contact us and we can add your walk details below.
Even though we are small team at CTF, we are super excited to Step Up this March!
Thursday the 12th, we will be walking as a group, with a time and location to be confirmed. Some of us will be walking together in Concord NSW, while others will walk from their homes based in South Australia and North West Tasmania.
If you are interested in joining us, please send an email advising that you would like to join the CTF Staff Walk and we will be in touch with further details
