Walk for Better Oral Health!

- 27 November 2025
eviDent Foundation is excited to partner with Huma Charity Challenge to offer a truly unforgettable experience in June 2026 (7th June to 12th June): The Heysen Trail Flinders Ranges Challenge.
Over six days, you’ll walk through one of Australia’s most ancient landscapes: rugged red ranges, dramatic gorges, peaceful bush trails and sweeping outback vistas. It’s a journey that connects challenge, adventure and purpose…all while helping us improve oral health outcomes for communities across Victoria.
At eviDent, everything we do is about strengthening the connection between research and dental practice. We work closely with clinicians and researchers to tackle real-world oral health challenges particularly for vulnerable groups such as children, older adults, people living with disability, and people experiencing homelessness.
By joining this challenge, you directly contribute to that mission.
How to get involved
To participate in the Heysen Trail Flinders Ranges Challenge, you will need to complete three steps:
1. Register for the challenge
Your trek registration and all on-ground logistics are managed by Huma Charity Challenge, including meals, guides, camping equipment (except sleeping bags), transport during the trip, park fees and safety support. Participants are responsible for their own airfares, accommodation in Adelaide before and after the trip, personal items, backpacks, alcoholic beverages, travel insurance and sleeping bags.

2. Fundraise a minimum of $1,000 for eviDent
Every participant must raise a minimum of $1,000 for the eviDent Foundation.
This is a mandatory fundraising requirement.
You can meet this in one of two ways:
- Donate $1,000 directly to eviDent,
OR - Create your own fundraising page and raise the $1,000 from friends, family or colleagues.
You are welcome and very encouraged to go beyond the $1,000 minimum. Every extra dollar helps us expand our impact across Australia.

Why your fundraising matters
Oral health is a vital part of general health, yet it is often overlooked. Poor oral health can lead to infection, chronic disease, reduced quality of life and long-term health complications particularly for people facing disadvantage such as people with disability, cancer or people experiencing socio-economic disadvantage.
Funds raised through this challenge help eviDent:
- Support research that leads to improvements in dental practice
- Improve oral health outcomes for vulnerable populations
- Build the evidence clinicians need to provide better, more informed care
Your walk helps someone smile, speak, eat and live better.
