After being the first person to run across Australia from Southernmost to Northernmost Point- Cape York and then from Westernmost –Steep Point to Easternmost Point- Cape Byron- 5,978 km in 100 days, Vlastik Skvaril is ready for another fundraiser. This time it is going to be a very different event – RIDING A PUSH SCOOTER!
The journey will begin in Darwin on 28th August 2009, the day of his 70th birthday and will finish, in Adelaide on the 6th of October. Apart from raising donations for CanTeen, Vlastik will be welcoming a new sponsor – Cadbury Schweppes who has donated the Scooter and accessories for the fundraiser.

The route from the top of Australia to the bottom. It will begin in Darwin then he will follow Stuart Highway via Tennant Creek, Alice Springs, Coober Pedy to Pt Augusta and then via Wilmington, Gladstone, Clare and Gawler to Adelaide.
Vlastik is looking for sponsors to help with financing the trip since every cent collected goes directly to CanTeen.
Vlastik will be hoping for the continuous support of Tasmanian public and the media as he has received during the previous fundraisers.
“The tough economical times must not be used as an excuse for forgetting about the less fortunate young Australians living with cancer. Some charities enjoy support from national media and are kept in Headlines. Others are not so fortunate so we have to work hard to ensure that they are not kept out of sight and out of mind”
This is what Vlastik, recent Great Grandfather is trying to do.
