Melbourne is behind us and we are heading up the coast to Sydney. Keep up the great work. We will continue to tally and push the limits of how far our Australian movers can go.

If it were all on foot, that is roughly 11,407,971 steps. Every kilometre from every walk, run, ride and swim moves the marker along the road. Totals update the moment you log an activity, and weekly leaderboards reset each Monday.

Why I walk

Walking with Will


Will with his mum and dad on a rainforest walk at Mary Cairncross Scenic Reserve

“I like to walk with my mum and dad, just keeping moving keeps me calm. I like to walk where I can see pelicans and highland cattle.”

Will Pierce

Will is now 24, and was diagnosed at 14. He lives on the Sunshine Coast with his parents and twin sister Ella. He has two highland cattle, Rocky and Freddie, and loves pelicans.
