We are standing up to cancer with Canteen
The Mareeba State High School Bitumen Bandits are a team of 10 young students in our last year of school and we have decided to put our bodies through harm and partake in the Great Wheelbarrow Race pushing a wheelbarrow 140km over 3 days from Mareeba to Chillagoe. We run up and down hills (mainly up), across dirt road, with blisters, aches and pains all for fun and for charity. We have chosen to raise money for Canteen. This makes sense to us as we are teenagers and Canteen not only aids teens with cancer, but to teens who have family members that suffer from cancer.
The Great Wheelbarrow Race https://www.greatwheelbarrowrace.com/ is a tribute to our pioneers who in the 1800s used to push barrows filled with their possessions from one place to the next. This is now a massive event for our community attracting thousands of people from all over the state and country. The idea behind this madness is to raise money for charity, this race has raised millions of dollars for heaps of charities over the years. https://www.facebook.com/Great-Wheelbarrow-Race-176027939110881/
