BIGROLL

Attention: open in a new window. Print

The worlds longest wheelchair roll, travelling 4,500 km across Australia

The BIGROLL is an attention raising activity that has an unusual angle of pushing a wheelchair across the country from Perth to Sydney. It aims to raise awareness about the issues facing people with mobility difficulties (disabled, elderly or accident victims).

It also recognises the sterling work done by multitudes of carers in communities across the country. The catchphrase of this BIGROLL is “Mobility Matters, Carers Care”. There is also a serious fund-raising purpose as well.

How to help

The BIGROLL starts April 23rd and ends August 15th. Any person who would like to be part of the BIGROLL adventure can apply to be involved. This can be done via the website www.thebigroll.org.au or direct to the BIGROLL Coordinator Wayne Bensley on Mobile 0433 175 315.

Ideally length of involvement should be 7 to 10 days, but shorter sessions can be entertained. To help with this a Blocks Overview has been prepared and is available on the website. A day to day itinerary of the schedules is also available.
