TEAM AFRO & WHY WE DO WHAT WE DO

Team Afro has been involved with esCarpade, raising funds for Camp Quality since 2011. Though the team has changed from year to year the philosophy remains the same, to raise as much as we can to support the programs that Camp Quality offer.

We have had personal experience in dealing with cancer and the difficult times that a diagnosis and treatment entails. It is through this experience that we are now committed to helping Camp Quality bring laughter into the lives of children living with cancer along with their families by participating in esCarpade.

Throughout this time we believed in the power of positive thinking and to remember to laugh at something each and everyday to cope with the tough days.

We have, along with our commitment to fundraising have recently completed volunteer training to become companions at Camp Quality camps and events. We believe in the work that Camp Quality does in helping children and their families have some relief from the sometimes trying times associated with cancer diagnosis and treatment.

esCarpade the major annual fundraiser for Camp Quality ,is an outback motoring adventure in which participants are encouraged to raise funds for Camp Quality along with visiting schools and promoting the work of Camp Quality.

Each year up to 80 cars and their crews , many of these entrants , who like the members of Team Afro , have regular jobs, families and commitments, yet still take time to raise funds for this worthwhile cause.

It is through people like you, who donate to our fundraising efforts that Camp Quality can continue to provide services by improving the quality of life for children living with cancer and their families through unrelenting optimism and the healing power of laughter.

DAY 1 - AFRO RESTORATION

Happy New Year , now that the fun of the festive season is almost over , it's time to esCarpade again.

2013 is bringing some changes to TEAM AFRO , by way of crew and appearance of the vehicle.
AFRO MOBILE is going under some dramatic changes in the next few months - she will hardly be recognizable.

The crew will be Darren and Treen - looks like Treen will be navigating - so the course is from Bundaberg to Wollongong ? RIGHT? Is that by way of Rockhampton (famous Darren saying for the long way round!!) ?
 A third member of the team is to be announced - but if all goes well they will be a small but mighty force to add to the colour and fun of esCarpade.

But thanks to Laurie and Ross for their past two years of involvement and hopefully they will continue their support even thought hey are unable to commit to the venture fully this year. We will sure miss them in the car , their good humored (or not) banter will make the trip a little quiet maybe?


So just a few pics to start off the year ...


Always , the obligatory on the roof photo. 


AFRO striped bare ... ready for a make over.

How will she look this year?
