Parkes Tractor Trek

By Richard Jefferay

Join the Tractor Trekkers: Driving Change for Prostate Cancer Awareness

Get ready for a remarkable journey as the Tractor Trekkers rev up their engines for a purpose-driven adventure! From August 11 to 22, a determined group of passionate trekkers will travel 1,000 kilometers across the rugged Australian outback from Bourke to Birdsville via Innamincka—all in support of Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia.

This epic trek isn’t just about tractors; it’s about turning wheels of hope and raising $100,000 to fight prostate cancer, a disease that affects so many men and families across Australia. Every donation fuels this mission, empowering research, early detection, and support for those living with prostate cancer.  

The journey will be a test of resilience as the Tractor Trekkers navigate challenging terrain, scorching days, and cold nights—all united by a shared goal: to raise awareness and funds to make a lasting impact. 

 

How You Can Help:

Your contribution, big or small, will go a long way toward reaching our $100,000 goal. Together, we can support the PCFA’s life-saving work and show our support for the men in our lives.  


Ways to Get Involved: 

🚜 Donate Now: Every dollar counts toward driving change.  

🚜 Spread the Word: Share our mission with your friends and family.  

🚜 Join the Journey: Follow us for updates, stories from the trek, and ways to cheer us on.  

Be part of this incredible journey that blends grit, community spirit, and compassion. Let’s pave the way to a future where prostate cancer is no longer a threat.  


Together, we can make a difference. Donate today and help us reach the finish line!

Trundling for a Cause Along the roads at break of day, A rumble rolls in proud array— Old iron steeds with weathered grace, Each man behind with sunworn face. They’re not out here for glory’s sake, But for the lives that illness takes. With gears that grind and engines loud, They draw the eyes, they draw a crowd. From farm to town, from dusk till noon, Through summer heat or silver moon, They drive for fathers, brothers, sons— For battles fought and battles won. So honk and wave as they pass through, In flannel shirts and tractor blue. Each mile they make, each dollar earned, Is hope restored, a corner turned.
