The Warwick Foundation is the first and only Non-Profit Charitable Organisation in Australia focusing on supporting young adults (18-40 years) on their cancer journey.
The reality is young adults (aged 18-40+/-) are the fastest growing demographic among the over 10 million new cancer diagnoses each year worldwide. In fact, cancer is the leading disease killer of young adults. And while there are hundreds of cancer-related organisations in existence today, there are almost none that are strictly focused on meeting the unique needs and issues faced by young adults on their cancer journey.
The Warwick Foundation will be attempting to break the Guinness World Record for 'The Most People Running in High Heeled Shoes' on Saturday 10th April 2010.
Come join us at the home of the Western Bulldogs - Whitten Oval, 417 Barkly St, Footscray and help us smash the record by running 80 metres!
Your registration fee and the money you raise for us through sponsorship go towards our 'Mates In My Shoes' program. All participants will receive a gift bag containing fabulous goodies from Revlon, Roses Only & Magnolia Silver Jewellery.

| Finding a mate you can talk to who is your age with similar interests and coping with the same disease can seem almost impossible. Through the ‘mates in my shoes’ program you can connect with other patients, survivors and caregivers who agree to exchange information and support, and who share other commonalities such as cancer type, time since diagnosis, interests, profession, pasttimes, musical taste and geographic location Find your mate here... |
Kudos Villa's 'Leave your shoes at our door' Initiative recognises the need for young adult cancer sufferers to have a little time out for themselves on their journey with the disease. Find out about our new leave your shoes at our door Initiative |

The Warwick Foundation is a non-profit, charitable organisation. As such we rely entirely on gifts, charitable contributions and bequests to exist. If not for generous individuals, trusts, companies and other organisations, Australian young adults coping with cancer would be left without unique mission to provide better care and support on their cancer journey.
Donations can be made online, give generously.
