Additional Information
Please note, this event is held on Saturday 18th May.
Walk With Women is the Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation’s (OCRF) original
fundraising walk event, which was the brainchild of OCRF Ambassador and friend, Helen Powell.
Helen began the walk in 2016 following her own diagnosis with ovarian cancer.
In that first year, she and just 6 close friends walked a 30km-length course along the
picturesque Mornington Peninsula, stretching from Safety Beach Sailing Club to Hotel Sorrento.
Known in its first six years as the Wonder Woman Walk, Helen’s walk was renamed Walk With Women upon becoming an official event of the OCRF in 2022.
From 2024, with an altered course this special walk will continue to honour Helen’s
legacy as it steps into the Mother’s Day Classic.
