OK, so we are a little slow on the updates since launching the 2012 rally.  We have a number of reasons (excuses) with the biggest one being that we have just been really busy launching the rally, sorting the route and getting a whole bunch of teams up and running.  We are pleased though to finally be writing and updating the blog.

So – what has been happening? The route is sorted and we will have the map up on the site hopefully next week, we have 180 teams and you can check them out on the ‘Team’ page of the site.  As you can see we have raised about $45,000 and we have a target this year of $1 million – wow.  Last year we reached $700,000 with 109 teams so hopefully we will reach our 7 figure sum.

We really want to get as many people that want to do the rally into the rally but we are limited by fuel, food and facilities especially as we travel to some of Australia’s most remote locations.  What we have done is removed the ‘hitch hiker rule’ that gave teams the opportunity to have 3 people in their car so now the teams are limited to 2 people which means we can say yes to more teams whilst still keeping the same numbers.  We are also looking into other ways to increase our numbers from 2013.

There are a bunch of other really cool things that we are currently working on for the 2012 and beyond rallies – all will be announced in the not too distant future.

Thank you for all of your support and stay tuned.
