Peter has been part of the rally since the beginning and is an honouree lifetime member. 

Peter’s daughter Jodie was a kidney kid and sadly lost her life to kidney disease at the age of 22. Jodie was six years old when she was diagnosed with kidney failure and was in and out of hospital more often than not.

 Jodie participated in Kidney Kids Camps along with her sister Deb, who found the camps were a great way to bring together kids who were going through a similar journey.

 Peter and his daughter Deb take part in the rally every year, primarily to keep the memory of Jodie alive and to continue to raise funds for Kidney Health Australia’s Kids and Youth Program.

Husband and Wife team, Vicky and Shane have been part of the rally for years.

They planned to do the rally once but on the second day in they knew it would become and annual event they both look forward to. 

Vicky has since volunteered at the Kidney Kids Camp and are both invested in raising funds for the kids. 

They are always themed pink but each year has a different theme and characters. 

We can't wait to see their costumes in 2024!

Since joining the Kidney Kar Rally in 2003 the local lads from Bathurst strut across the Australian outback in speedos and clown wigs bringing joy and smiles to kids affected by Kidney Disease. 

They’re a group of mates with the team rule of everyone on the team must to give the same 'time 
working on the car' and 'money raised or given'

What makes them return year on year? 

'It's the people you meet, the comradery and kids you help that keep us coming back. We've covered most of Australia now'.
