Bridge to Brisbane 2026

Calling the QBI community, researchers, friends and supporters. Bridge to Brisbane is back on 13 September 2026 and Team QBI is once again coming together to support vital brain research.

Whether you're planning to run or walk (5km or 10km), we'd love you to be a part of Team QBI, as we raise funds for the QBI Brain Research Endowment Fund, supporting innovative research that's advancing brain health and improving lives.

Join our team, have fun, and make every step count. Your support means the world to us - and to brain research.

QBI Steps for Dementia Research

Funds raised through the QBI Steps for Dementia Research trek support the newly established Peter Hilton Alzheimer’s Endowment Fund. This endowed fund will provide perpetual support for critical research into Alzheimer’s disease at the Queensland Brain Institute (QBI) – helping to accelerate the search for better treatments, earlier diagnosis, and ultimately a cure.
