Launching 25 May 2026
Join our inaugural fundraising adventure: a 18-day, 14,500km convoy around Australia’s legendary Highway 1 – the world’s longest national highway – raising awareness and funds for young onset dementia.
What makes it extraordinary:
- Professional convoy of up to 20 vehicles with 24/7 support and safety coordination
- Departing Perth, connecting 6 states and territories over two weeks
- Sleep in a variety of locations including under the stars
- Showcasing Australia’s diverse landscapes from Ningaloo’s coral coastlines to the red dunes of the Australian deserts, tropical rivers to metropolitan harbours
- Stopping in major cities (Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide) and authentic regional communities
- Fundraising Goal: $175,000+ to establish comprehensive support services in our first year
