Take a Gutsy Challenge
Get gutsy for GI cancer and take a Gutsy Challenge.
Have some fun and raise much-needed funds for vital research to find a cure for GI cancer. Participate in a fun run, a cycle challenge or other sporting event, host a healthy lunch or morning tea, hold an auction or give up a vice for a week: whatever is gutsy and suits you.
You can take the Gutsy Challenge by yourself or, better still, engage with your friends, family, or work colleagues to help the GI Cancer Institute raise funds.

Our Gutsy Challenge Supports an Annual Innovation Fund Grant
All money raised supports research in to gastro-intestinal cancer – facilitating the development of much needed improved treatments for the 28,000+ Australians diagnosed every year.
With an overall survival rate of just 50% – and as low as 9% for pancreatic cancer – GI cancers kill more Australians everyday than breast cancer and prostate cancer combined. By participating in the Gutsy Challenge you are helping the GI Cancer Institute to raise essential funds for research to improve these survival rates and the quality of life for people diagnosed with GI cancer.
