“Let us reach out to the children. Let us do whatever we can to support their fight to rise above their pain and suffering.” – Nelson Mandela
How it started
We looked at options on how to help the kids. With more than 20 years of relationships in the motoring and adventure travel genres… a mad cap idea was born: drive 7 000km in seven days, visiting seven hospitals in seven countries, delivering gifts to kids with cancer.
What We Do
5,000km of Caring
Every September, we take on a 7-day journey called The Drive, covering over 5,000 km to deliver essential supplies to children with cancer across the country. From personal care items like toothbrushes and soap to afford basic necessities. This initiative helps ease their burden and brings joy during tough times.
Small Gifts, Big Impact
Many families affected by childhood cancer face financial challenges. We provide them with basic items such as toiletries and small comforts like chocolate and energy drinks. These small but vital supplies make a huge difference in their daily lives, offering relief and a sense of normalcy when it’s needed most.
Music with a Mission
We host music concerts in rural towns like Rhodes and Barrydale, featuring artists like Mathys Roets and Louise Carver. These events have become a highlight for local communities, raising funds for children with cancer. We are expanding this effort with larger concerts in venues like the Fairtree Atterbury Theatre, with all proceeds going to support organizations such as Cupcakes of Hope.
Spreading Awareness
Raising awareness about childhood cancer is one of our long-term goals. Early detection can save lives, and through our events, we aim to educate the public about the importance of spotting the signs early. Our mission is to spread this message far and wide, increasing awareness and making a lasting impact in the fight against cancer.
