Travelling length and breath of Australia for cancer

By VICTORIA STONE-MEADOWS

AN IT auditor from Cranbourne and her family have been shortlisted to participate in the Dometic Follow the Sun campaign.
The Dometic Ambassadors will spend three months travelling around Australia, raising funds for the National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF).
Emmy Fekete, 36, and her family are in the top 20 families considered to travel Australia for three months, raising money and awareness for breast cancer research.
If she wins, Ms Fekete will receive up to $25,000 worth of mobile living products tailored to her vehicle and $10,000 in selected travel expenses.
The winners will be holding happy hours at predetermined stops along the way during their journey with all money raised supporting breast cancer research.
Ms Fekete decided to enter the competition as raising funds for research into breast cancer is a cause that means a lot to her.
“My sister was diagnosed with breast cancer last year, but made it through with support from breast cancer research organisations, so it is a cause close to my heart,” she said in a written statement.
Ms Fekete said she was very excited to be selected in the shortlist of potential winners of the campaign and is keen to get out and see more of Australia.
“Being able to explore the amazing landscape that Australia has on offer while meeting new people and sharing our experience with them will be incredible,” she said.
“We’ve only just scratched the surface of this country and want to see and do so much more.”
Justine Schuller from Dometic said Ms Fekete’s love of travelling and camping was an impressive element of her entry into the competition.
“Emmy and her family really stood out to us due to their passion for the great outdoors and love of travelling in Australia,” Ms Schuller said.
“Our ambassadors will get to live the Australian dream of exploring the countryside, all while making a difference to the lives of people impacted by breast cancer.”
The winner of the 2016 Follow the Sun Campaign will be announced at Queensland Caravan, Camping and Touring Supershow on Saturday 11 June.
