Royce Simmons has officially begun the 2025 Big Walk, setting off from Penrith alongside rugby league greats Paul Gallen and Joe Galuvao.
Now in its fourth year, The Big Walk is the flagship fundraising event for the Royce Simmons Foundation, which is dedicated to increasing awareness and funding critical dementia research.
Over the next 10 days, Simmons will trek through the Blue Mountains and Central Tablelands, making his way to Mudgee, where the walk will finish at the Panthers NRL clash with the Canberra Raiders at Glen Willow Regional Sports Stadium.
This year, fans can buy ‘virtual steps’ – $30 for 30 steps – to show their support from anywhere in the world.
The community’s generosity over the past three years has already made a significant impact in the fight against dementia, and Simmons hopes this year’s walk will raise even more.
