Children affected by emergencies can face serious risks to their safety, health, education, and wellbeing. Humanitarian support can provide children and families with essential assistance during crises, helping them access the resources and protection they need.
UNICEF Australia works to support children around the world, including those affected by emergencies and humanitarian crises. Fundraising initiatives help UNICEF provide assistance to children facing difficult and dangerous circumstances.
Dusk to Dawn 2026 is UNICEF Australia’s 42-kilometre overnight walking challenge, taking participants from North Sydney to Bondi on Saturday, 21 November 2026. Participants will walk through the night alongside fellow supporters, passing some of Sydney’s most iconic landmarks before reaching the finish line at sunrise.
The challenge provides an opportunity to take on a significant personal goal while raising funds to help children facing emergencies. Every kilometre walked contributes to a wider effort to support children and families affected by crises. Dusk to Dawn is designed to bring people together through a shared overnight experience, with participants walking side by side as they make their way across Sydney.
The 42km challenge represents more than a physical test—it is an opportunity to step outside your comfort zone while helping raise support for children who are facing circumstances far beyond their control. By taking part, walkers can turn one night of determination into support for children who need assistance during emergencies.
Join here for Dusk to Dawn on November 21, 2026, and walk 42km from North Sydney to Bondi to help children facing emergencies.
