Go The Distance

05/08/2026

Bella Bradford was diagnosed with rhabdomyosarcoma when she was just 22 years old. She travelled from Adelaide and stayed with her family at the You Can Centre at Chris O'Brien Lifehouse while she received treatment.

“The kindness and care we experienced there meant more to us than I can ever express and helped carry us through an incredibly difficult time.” Says Jill, Bella’s mum

Sadly, Bella passed away on 15 October two years ago. Before she died, she shared her 20 Life Lessons which are simple reminders to live with courage, kindness, gratitude and to make every day count.

This year every kilometre you travel, every dollar you raise will help to ensure patients and families receive the same extraordinary care that meant so much to Bella and her family.

Go the Distance 2026 and Make Every Day Count In 2021, Bella Brad...
