The Honda Over The Top
Expedition has been developed by brothers Peter and Phillip Jenkins, who have a
family history of prostate cancer.
Both wanted to do something ‘Over
The Top' to generate funds and awareness on the key preventative actions for prostate
cancer. So they decided to go 'Over The Top' literally... in an 8.6m rigid
inflatable boat (RIB).
Beginning in Sydney in mid-2011,
the Honda Over The Top Expedition will cover more than 9500 kilometres,
stopping at 26 locations along the coast, and end in Perth 10 weeks later.
Along the Expedition, Peter
and Phillip will cover some of Australia's most untouched, harsh and beautiful
coastline, particularly in the northern-most tips of Queensland, Northern
Territory and Western Australia.
At each stop (in the populated
areas), Peter and Phillip will have prearranged presentations at yacht and boat
clubs to generate awareness and raise funds to help fight this relatively ‘unknown'
male-only cancer.
Their mission is to raise
$200,000 to continue research into effective prostate cancer detection and
treatment and to actively educate and raise awareness of the need for men to be
‘double tested' for prostate cancer.
