Sixty vehicles will take part in the 20th Kidney Kar Rally from Sydney to Mudgee via Mildura.
The rally will run over eight days from August 15 to 23 and is expected to raise more than $300,00 for kidney patients and sponsorship for Kidney Camps for Kids.
Geoff Bartlett said the 1981 Ford XD Falcon Ute, affectionately known as ‘Mudgee Mud’ was being fine tuned for the event.
Mudgee Mud was named after the renowned beer brewed in Mudgee in the 1940s.
Nearly 30,000 kilometres later, this if the fourth Kidney Kar rally for the old girl.
CEO of Kidney Health Australia, Anne Wilson said the Kidney Kar Rally not only raised urgently needed funds but also helped create more community awareness about kidney disease.
Kidney disease threatens one in every three Australian throughout regional areas.
The rally is a credit to the many support staff, organisations, sponsors and families and is one of the most significant events for the Kidney Health Australia calendar.
