That’s what the Wolters family, from Bundaberg, have done all in the name of charity.  They are 15,000 kilometres into a trip around Australia hoping to raise $50,000 for motor neuron disease. 

Diana Wolters said it was her husband – Jozef’s – idea after his dad was diagnosed. 

“He was diagnosed two years ago in January and passed away in July last year. My friend’s sister also had it,” she said. “We decided that something needed to be done to get more support.”

The family left January, and plan to arrive home exactly a year later. 

“We started in Bundaberg and have gone all along the top end to Cairns across up to Darwin, back down to Katherine and Broome and Perth to the Nullabor, Adelaide Victoria and Tasmania,” Mrs Wolters said.  

They will return to Melbourne on Saturday and go back Canberra, Sydney and Brisbane. For information, visit One Year on Our Bike on Facebook.
