Mountain Mungos

Hi all.

This is Team Mountain Mungos (Frenchy & Wazza's) Fundraising Page - for the 2019 Spring Shitbox Rally. The goal of this rally is to raise funds for the Cancer Council.

We are really excited to be taking part in the Shitbox Rally 2019 Spring event. In October 2019, all the teams involved will be driving their shitboxes (2WD only - worth less than $1000) from Melbourne to Townsville, via Birdsville.

Shitbox Rally is the largest community led fundraiser for the Cancer Council in Australia and is now in its 10th year. Part of the participation is that all teams have to raise a minimum of $5,000 but most teams raise well above this amount. The 2019 Spring rally target is aimed at $2,000,000 plus

OUR TEAM GOAL IS TO RAISE $10,000

These funds go to the Cancer Council and we are extremely proud to be doing our part to support such a worthy charity. Both of our families have been affected by cancer.

* Frenchy's brother-in-law, Iain, died from brain cancer in 2016. He was diagnosed in February of that year & passed away in June. He was only 60.

* Wazza has a close family member who has neuroendocrine cancer.

So.... we will be working hard to raise as many $$$ as we can for the Cancer Council.

Our fundraising has reached 'Shitbox Rally' qualification status - which is great. We reckon we'll come close to reaching our 'revised target' of $10,000 in the 'Mountain Mungos ... We Give' account before we head off to start the rally from Melbourne in October.

So....a 'HUGE' thanks for everyone's support of our fundraising efforts so far.

But wait .... there's more:....... Bunnings Katoomba & Woolworths Leura Sausage Sizzles..., Meat Tray & Vege/Fruit Box Raffles at a location to be confirmed soon....& Frenchy is planning a future 'Canvas For Cancer' Photographic Exhibition - from some of his 'Wildlife Pics'....and...
