Noah's Ninjas Melbourne 2026

The Bloody Long Walk 2026 - Melbourne

Noah's Ninjas is walking 35km in The Bloody Long Walk!

Noah’s favourite thing is to make people laugh, with Star Wars coming a close second! 

But behind his gorgeous smile, Noah bravely fights mito. In his fifteen short years, he has undergone countless medical procedures and had multiple stroke-like episodes, which occur without warning, each one causing significant damage to his brain or spine.

Despite being unable to walk, see or hear properly, and needing to rely on round-the-clock care, Noah is determined to live life to the fullest. 

Ask him how he feels and he says “I choose to be happy.”

“He’s my world, all I want is to find a cure for my boy.” – Kat, Noah’s mum.

Register today and join Noah's Ninjas to walk 35km and help find a cure for mito!

If you can't walk with us, please sponsor our walk to fund research into desperately needed treatments and cures for this devastating disease.

Every dollar will make a difference.
