6 STEFANIE S STORY Every year the Great Endeavour Rally gives people with a disability the opportunity to experience all that the Rally has to offer. We are constantly hearing how the Rally, and the friendships formed between the Rally participants, encourages people to come out of their shell and grow in confidence. One example of this is Stefanie, who participated in the 2016 Great Endeavour Rally from Ipswich to Uluru: It was a great outcome for Stefanie, Event Sponsors CONTACT US it made her look towards developing more independence - EF Support Manager. Since the Rally, Stefanie has now moved onto the next phase of learning to live independently in the community. I think the Rally showed her that she was ready. Thank you to everyone who supports the open and encouraging environment that the Great Endeavour Rally has become! Event Supporters Customer Support rally@endeavour.com.au
