The walk is held in conjunction with the annual Kyle's Camp with the camp kids being able partake in the walk.

It is the perfect event to gather your family or gather your friends, with over 1,000 people taking part you will never do the walk alone.

Thanks to the generosity of the Broome local businesses and community the walk has grown significantly over the last few years. The event now offers warm up activities at Gantheume with fresh hot coffee served, take part in our aerial photoshoot and then set off on the 5km walk towards Cable Beach.

DO Supports

The Kyle Andrews Foundation was established as a legacy to a brave young Broome boy, Kyle Andrews, who lost his battle with cancer at the age of 11. In early 1998 Kyle was undergoing treatment for leukaemia at Princess Margaret Hospital and had a dream of bringing some of his young friends from Ward 3B to Cable Beach so that, in his words “they might feel better”. Thanks to the generosity of the people of Broome “Kyle’s Camp 98” was organised and for those children who attended, together with their carers and the organisers, the camp proved such a wonderful and enriching experience that it was determined that it be made an annual event. Kyle passed away in July 1998 after experiencing the first Kyle’s Camp. The organisation is a charitable foundation raising funds to bring Children undergoing treatment for cancer from Princess Margaret Hospital, in Perth WA, to Broome on an annual basis, for a much needed week break from difficult therapy. Approximately 15 children (with 4 hospital carers) travel to Broome annually, the children are given opportunity to undertake an array of Broome activities with other Children in similar health circumstance, and be kids again. The Broome environment allows for activities not available in other regions, with high community involvement in both pre‐camp events and fundraising, but also huge direct community involvement with the children in Broome each year. The Foundation has run the annual 'Kyle’s Camp ' for the past 15 years, with over 300 children attending the camps to date.
