Save the date for our May Matters Walk 2026, an annual event where we come together for a beautiful walk along the Ōtākaro Avon River in the heart of Ōtautahi Christchurch. It’s a special way for us to acknowledge the end of Brain Cancer Awareness Month, remember those who we’ve lost to brain cancer and show our support for those currently navigating the challenges of this devastating disease.
