What is 10 Deserts for Torie ?
Jeremy Cowley ( who you may know from The Dirt Bike Burrito Podcast ) will attempt to cross 10 deserts in 20 days on a Husqvarna 501 completely unassisted to raise $ 20K for the Torie Finnane Foundation , a cause close to his heart .
Along with raising funds for the TFF , it will be an attempt at a Guinness World Record , currently held by Benji Brundin who has crossed the 10 deserts unassisted in 29 Days .
Jeremy will start his brutal 10 Deserts for Torie attempt on 1st May 2023 , from Marree , crossing 10 deserts unassisted and completing his exhausting trek in Apatula , also known as the famous finish line of the Finke Desert Race on 23rd May 2023 .
Jeremy will need to carry 72 litres of fuel , maps , parts , food , clothing and sleeping gear on his Husky 501 bike that looks like something that stepped out of the Mad Max movie !
Follow Jeremy ’ s insanely courageous effort and throw a dollar or two towards him for women and babies who will benefit through the Torie Finnane Foundation .
About The Torie Finnane Foundation
Torie Finnane was a much-loved midwife who tragically passed away in December 2020 at the age of 34 just three days after giving birth to her third child Maisie . Before her passing , Torie helped helped support many families through childbirth , including Jeremy and his family throughout the birth of his daughter .
By taking on the 10 deserts , Jeremy hopes to raise much needed funds to help TFF improve maternity services in regional NSQ through the provision of professional development opportunities and by the purchase of much needed equipment .
