Crusade for Connor is returning in 2026 to continue building Connor’s legacy and supporting NeuRA’s research into schizophrenia.

Date: Saturday 9 May 2026
Time: 11:00am
Location: The Dock, Kingston

Choose either a 5km walk or 10km run.

About the event

Over the past three years, Crusade for Connor has brought people together to honour Connor’s legacy and support important research into schizophrenia.

This year’s event will be a 5km walk or 10km run from The Dock in Kingston. Everyone is welcome. Walk, run, donate, or just show up.

Supporting NeuRA

We’re very appreciative of everyone’s generosity over the past three years. If you’re able to donate this year, all proceeds will continue supporting Neuroscience Research Australia and its research into schizophrenia.

NeuRA’s work is focused on understanding the underlying causes of Schizophrenia and finding new treatments that improve quality of life for people affected.

Why this matters

Schizophrenia is a mental disorder characterised by a disconnection from reality. It affects how a person thinks, feels, and behaves.

It often emerges in adolescence or young adulthood and affects around 1 in 100 people in Australia and worldwide.
