Brothers' epic journey across Australia to raise money for cancer
Brothers Stefan and Lachlan Lamble have firsthand experience on how devastating cancer can be.
The brothers, both in their 20s, lost their grandmother to breast cancer eight years ago, and recently had their other grandmother pull through a difficult cancer battle.
After being inspired by their family's hardships, the Lamble brothers have set out on an epic adventure to cross Australia by foot in just 100 days.
Stefan and Lachlan began their journey in Perth in February, and have spent 66 days so far battling difficult conditions while pushing their bodies to the limit.
The pair are just days away from reaching Adelaide, and have had some trying times on their momentous journey so far.
"One day reached 46 degrees and the soles of our shoes literally melted," Lachlan told 9News.
Their unwavering commitment to raising money for cancer research has garnered widespread support, with a legion of fans across the country cheering them on.
"It gives us a bit of hope that there might be some new research, and that's all we can really hope for," she said.
The brothers aimed to raise $100,000 before they reach their final destination of Melbourne, but with the help of their dedicated supports, they reached their financial goal just after their halfway mark.
Now, the brothers have their sights set on a new goal: $1 million before the end of the year.
"We are doing it for everyone back home that has been impacted by cancer, so please find it in your hearts to donate at ACRF (Australian Cancer Research Foundation)," Stefan said.
