Put Your Foot Down and make a real impact for pancreatic cancer
Location Details
Between North Steyne and Queenscliff Surf Lifesaving Clubs
The Put Your Foot Down Sydney walk has been connecting the community since 2010 under the original Avner Foundation and is an important event for the pancreatic cancer community in NSW to unite while raising awareness and funds for pancreatic cancer.
Iconic Manly Beach is turned purple as supporters walk in memory or celebration of loved ones and come together for support, all while raising critical funds for pancreatic cancer research.
The family and dog friendly walk is a flat 4km walk along Manly Beach with BBQ breakfast, prizes for the highest fundraisers and best dressed in purple and merchandise for sale.
Join the national movement in 2022 and help advocate for more funding and action for pancreatic cancer.

Fundraise for people living with pancreatic cancer
Fundraising fuels medical research which is critical to improving outcomes for pancreatic cancer patients and their families. Your fundraising efforts provide hope to those impacted by the disease and drive our ongoing research program, providing Australia’s best researchers an opportunity to work towards a possible future without pancreatic cancer. Fundraising is also easy and lots of fun!
