Dusk to Dawn 2026

I'm walking 42km overnight for children facing emergencies.

On 21 November, I'll be taking on UNICEF's Dusk to Dawn, walking across Sydney from North Sydney to Bondi through the night and finishing at sunrise.

When conflict and disasters strike, children are often the most vulnerable. They can lose access to clean water, food, shelter and the care they need to survive.

While I'm walking through the night, UNICEF teams are working around the clock to deliver lifesaving support to children and families affected by emergencies. This includes clean water, medical supplies, nutrition and protection.

Every step I take, and every dollar you donate, helps UNICEF respond quickly when emergencies put children at risk.

Please donate today if you can. Your support will help deliver urgent, lifesaving care to children who need it most.

Donations of $2 or more are tax‑deductible.
