Hey friends, I figured a Halloween-y jump scare was appropriate today. We're 14 days away from the start of Desert Bus for Hope 2025, and if you haven't been keeping up with our social feeds, it's time to distill all that sweet information in some sort of juice. Possibly raspberry flavoured?

The volunteers and their shifts have been slowly revealed on our Team page over the last week, and Az from Comms produced some great pictures covering all the changes:

We've got a handful of more announcements over the next weeks, including Donations Opening & Prize Lists going live on November 7th, our Guest Schedule coming after November 10th, and the DB2025 Shirt going live over at Fangamer sometime next week! Plus, we'll have our standard assortment of merch available during the course of the run, with a preview popping up right before we begin on November 14th.

Oh, and James is soliciting ideas for a challenge before the run starts.

We're right in the thick of it now. Welcome aboard and buckle up.
