Launching 31 May 2026

Join our annual fundraising adventure: This year it is a 12 day, 10,000km tarmac adventure using Australia’s legendary Highway 1 – the world’s longest national highway – raising awareness and funds for young onset dementia. 

We will be departing Perth, travelling the West Coast to Darwin, followed by a targeted destination of Uluru, Alice Springs and down to Port Augusta in South Australia. Then we make the return journey to Perth.

What makes it extraordinary: 

• Professional convoy of up to 10 vehicles with 24/7 support and safety coordination 
• Departing Perth, connecting 3 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 large harbours 
• Fundraising Goal: $175,000+ to establish comprehensive supports, advocacy and aids. All fundraising activities are decided independently by the Foundations Fundraising committee.
• Foundation Match: Every dollar raised (up to $50,000) will be matched by our Chair, Brett Parker
