Bugging Off again in aid of cancer research.
Well, it's back on again for 2013. Bug Off Cancer! is going Coast to Coast linking the Pacific and Indian Oceans. We'll be Bugging Off! from Sydney on Saturday 29 June and returning Sunday 14 July.
This will cover about 8,200km over a 16 day period, and will be the Bug's fourth cancer research fundraiser for Australian Cancer Research Foundation. That 1200 engine just keeps on going.
If there's anyone out there who would like to donate to the drive, you can do so at https://give.everydayhero.com/au/bugoffcancer2013
Also, if there are any businesses or companies out there that would like to have their name on the side of the Bug in exchange for sponsoring us, that would also be greatly appreciated.
You can read more about what we've done and will be doing at http://www.bugoffcancer.com.au or follow us and like us on facebook at https://www.facebook.com/bugoffcancer
I've also put together a compilation of previous trips to show where we've gone around Australia fundraising for cancer research.

Will post regular updates as they happen.
Regards,
Norm Elias

The time has nearly come to Bug Off! in aid of cancer research. Will be departing Sydney on Saturday 29 June and heading west, to the other side of the island in my trusty '65 Beetle, with its stock 1200 engine and 6V electrics. This will be trip number 4 around the outback of Australia.

| Best of luck! It's really nice to see someone using their bug for something positive like this (a standard bug as well, those are pretty rare now) |

For anyone who may be interested in seeing the video of the recent 9,030km trek across Australia in my 1965 Beetle for cancer research, you can do so here.
