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 
  • Foundation Match: Every dollar raised (up to $50,000) will be matched by our Chair, Brett Parker
