The groups will once again be lining up to join in "Sean's Two for Ten," a two-kilometre walk to raise funds for the life-saving research. Inner Wheel Australia has raised over $2.5 million across the last few years supporting the research.
Colleen Braithwaite, a member of the Yenda club, said that they would be heading off from 8:30 on March 19.
"It's a walk for two kilometres and then you donate ten dollars ... We're leaving the visitor's carpark and then heading up Banna Avenue, go to a coffee shop and then walk back so it's a bit of a social walk as well," she said.
The 'Sean' in Sean's Two for Ten is a young boy who underwent a transplant of stem cells derived from cord blood, and has since been held up as the face of the campaign as a success story.
"Both the clubs are in dwindling numbers, we don't have a target. We'd be happy with whatever happens," explained Ms Braithwaite.
The groups are currently on the lookout for either donations or more walkers, but sign-ups and donations on the day will be accepted. Online donations can be made at the Inner Wheel Australia website.
The walk leaves from the visitor's centre at 8:30am on March 19.
