Dirt n Dust Run is a journey of discovery. The opportunity to discover new and different places, meet new friends, and to discover new skills, while we are helping those in need.
Drive a car through the dirty, dusty, and some times muddy, South-West and Mid-West dirtiest roads to raise money to help research and organisations dealing with mental health.
OUR CAUSE
Where will the funds raised go?
Australian Rotary Health Lift the Lid
It is one of the largest independent funders of mental health research within Australia.
They also provide funding into a broad range of general health areas, provide scholarships for rural medical and nursing students, as well as Indigenous health students.
Australian Rotary Health provides funding into areas of health that do not readily attract funding and promotes findings to the community.
Australian Rotary Health is supported by a number of Rotary Clubs in Australia. They have a broad vision to improve the health and well-being of all Australians.
We will also be supporting other local charity organisations doing great work in the community. Details of these projects will be released closer to the date of the run.
