In the unfortunate event of an entrant cancelling after payment of the Meals and Accommodation monies, the organisers will try to obtain refunds wherever possible and refund these monies back to the entrant after the event has concluded.

Floods, Fire, Road closures and events beyond the organisers control. In the unlikelihood of a major change to the event Road Book caused by a road closure, fire, floods etc all entrants in the Outback 4WD Adventure may be subject to further expense for meals and accommodation as a result of a route change, delay etc. The organisers first priority is always for safety of all entrants and to provide the outback experience as originally intended.

FUNDRAISING FOR PROSTATE CANCER

Each vehicle is required to raise a minimum of $1,500 for Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia. Of course you don’t have to do this on your own, most people ask their family and friends to support them. All donations are tax deductible and go directly to Prostate Cancer Foundation – no expenses are deducted from these donations, 100% of all donations go to assist with prostate cancer research. You don’t have to stop at $1,500, we also will have an award on the final night for our highest fundraiser. We utilise the Everyday Hero fundraising platform to make donations for your fundraising easy as receipts can be printed when donations are made.

PROSTATE CANCER FOUNDATION OF AUSTRALIA AND PROSTATE CANCER

Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia (PCFA) is a broad  based community organisation and the peak national body for prostate cancer research in Australia. The Foundation is dedicated to reducing the impact of prostate cancer on Australian men, their partners and families recognising the diversity of the Australian community.

Why is this research so important?

  • 3,300 Australian men a year die from prostate cancer. That is 9 a day
  • 20,000 Australian men a year receive a new diagnosis. That is 54 a day
  • In early stages of prostate cancer there may be no symptoms
  • One in 7 blokes will be affected by prostate cancer
  • Around 92% of men will be alive 5 years after a diagnosis of prostate cancer – this is largely as a result of medical research

OUTBACK 4WD ADVENTURE – HOW WE STARTED

Ross Alexander was diagnosed with Prostate Cancer in 2013. He joined the NSW Prostate Cancer Foundation Board in 2015 to support the work of the Foundation and to “give a bit back”. Ross believes that his survival today is the result of the advances in medical research, science and the awareness campaigns that the Foundation funds and promotes today.

In the past 30 years Ross has supported many charity car rallies as an entrant and during this 30 years has raised in excess of $300,000 personally. With financial funding being the most important requirement of the Prostate Cancer Foundation today, in 2017 Ross sought the help of Peter Fehon (Charity Car Events, owner and originator) and Vic Widman (Great Divide Tours) to run a Outback 4WD Adventure and raise funds for Prostate Cancer medical research.

PETER FEHON handles all the administration, bookings, daily organisation and running of the event as Event Director.
