QLD - Cairns, Townsville, Gold Coast, NSW - Dubbo
July - August (4 hours pre-event, 4 hours day of event)
Purpose
The Kidney Kar Rally has been supporting Kidney Health Australia and the Kids and Youth program for over 30 years raising over 15 million for the organisation so far. In 2022, the rally will be travelling from Cairns to Dubbo via the Gold Coast from 10th - 20th August.
Throughout the duration of the rally, we aim to raise awareness of kidney disease and the importance of early detection in the towns the cars pass through. This year the Big Red Kidney Bus will be stopping at Cairns, Townsville, Gold Coast and Dubbo to perform kidney health checks along with “My Health For Life’s” support.
In these major towns local community events will be occurring alongside the health checks.
