TREVOR Collins and work mate Aaron Ficheroux picked up a bargain for their trek to Queensland in this week’s Shitbox Rally.
They headed to an auction house and walked out with a Holden VE Commodore for $380.
Trev lives in Newbridge and works as firefighters in Sunbury.
“We are both professional firefighters. That’s how we met and became best mates,” they said.
“We are sick and tired of losing our friends, family and colleagues to the horrific disease cancer, in all its forms.
“This rally is a chance for us to raise funds which will contribute directly to the Cancer Council, for essential research to stop our loved ones suffering the effects of cancer.”
Trev said being a firefighter was a high-risk occupation for cancer “and being in the rally is a way of raising awareness”.
“Aaron and I have worked together for 10 years and thought the rally was a good thing to do.”
Trev picked up sponsorship from Newbridge businesses for the rally, their signs on the Commodore as a way to promote the Loddon on the rally.
The pair has already raised $6000 and hopes to finish the rally with more than $8000 in the kitty.
