They raise funds for a selected number of critical research projects including one from our very own UOW: University of Wollongong, Australia. Each year, participants either walk or drive/scoot along the coast stopping at a number of places along the way to participate in activities and challenges, and this year Science Space Wollongong is proud to be a participating venue! This Saturday, the inspired drive & scoot group will be stopping through for some facts you can feel fun. So, if you are looking for a worthy cause to support we encourage you to check out Michael Tynan Challenge and make a donation today.
