Aussie customer joining clunker car rally
If you have a car worth less than $1,500, a week of free time, and the desire to help fight cancer, then the 14th annual Shitbox Rally in Australia could be for you.
xTuple customer Lou Mimmo and his brother Peter plan to do just that. Next June, they'll be driving their clunker (a.k.a., "shitbox") from Melbourne to Alice Springs—both for fun and to raise money for cancer research.
The inspiration behind the trip is Peter's 9-year-old daughter Aliyana (Ally). According to the brothers' fund-raising website, Ally was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) just over two years ago.
Thankfully, Ally's cancer is in remission now. Lou is grateful for that, and he's eager to join his brother in the race.
"Having been a family that has been severely touched by cancer we are passionate about raising awareness and funds to help finding a cure, prevention and providing immediate and ongoing support for all families that may find themselves in this unfortunate situation."
