For every kilometre achieved as part of the 74 kilometre journey, the group is helping to raise money for the cancer centre's trust fund.
Participant Helen Howell said the idea came about after coronavirus restrictions forced the closure of the group fitness on August 2.

"We're all members of Myrtleford Bootcamp and to keep our fitness up, we decided to set ourselves a virtual challenge and raise money for the cancer centre at the same time," she said.
"I have two sister-in-laws who are getting treatment at the cancer centre at the moment and another member just lost her father-in-law to cancer last week."
Anyone wishing to support the group can follow their progress on the Lockdown Kilometres for Cancer Facebook page, or make an online donation to Myrtleford Mission at awcancertrust.org.au/make-a-donation
