Peter & Deb - Grimace Too

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. 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.

Peter, Graham & Richie - Bathurst Surf Lifesavers Club

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 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'.

Carmel & Rosina - Sister Act

For 20 years, Sister Act has proudly participated in the Kidney Kar Rally, raising vital funds for Kidney Health. The team follows a strict “girl code,” and it all started when Carmel made a heartfelt promise to her brother-in-law after witnessing his battle with kidney disease.

Alongside her navigator, Rosina, Carmel holds firm to one rule: they are no different from the boys—if a Tyre needs changing, they jump right in and get it done. Year after year, they return not only for the friendships they build along the way but, most importantly, for the difference they make in the lives of children living with kidney disease.

Vicky & Shane - Belfrayden Bandits

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.
