Car 2226 is a bit blue - BLUEY BLUE!

It has been a while since my last update, because I haven't had much news. But today I realised while we haven't got any huge messages to share, we have been moving gradually and consistently and made giant leaps!
Thank you to all of our sponsors! We are nearly there - thank you!
Thank you to Rob for making Bellarine Bluey look Bellarin-ish and Bluey-ish ;). 
Thank you to Variety for showing us a great day last weekend - we had a ball and met wonderful people. Looking forward to August! 

Thanks Bellarine Signs

OMG this looks so good! Thanks Bellarine Signs (www.bellarinesigns.com.au)!

Thanks @SilverLynx (https://silverlynx.com.au)!!

Lots more room for other sponsors' signage! 
Do you work for a company that is committed to making children's lives better? Can you ask if they will sponsor us? 

new friends ...

Bingo and Bluey have joined our crew! If they ask nicely, will you donate today's coffee money to car2226 (https://fundraise.variety.org.au/fundraisers/Car2226)?

Prepping ...

Today was cleaning day ...
What is that in the door of the 1970 Toyota Corona?
On closer inspection ... it reminds me of when I use to use the ashtray in the backseat of someone's car - it was the norm!

Grateful

Thank you to everyone who has donated $ and time! So incredible!

Rob and Caz have joined the Variety Bash

16-24 August 2024, we're hitting the road with the Variety Vic Bash to make a difference to kids in need! 

Along our journey, we'll be presenting grants and much needed equipment to kids who are sick, disadvantaged or have additional needs. We can't wait to meet the kids who will benefit from your generosity very soon. Donations from legends like you support the work for Variety - the Children's Charity year round, to assist kids who might otherwise go without the vital help they need. 

Help us help kids reach their full potential and donate today!

As proud owner of a 1996 Toyota Camry - complete with built-in cigarette lighter - I am loving the 1970 Toyota Corona photos and know you will have the best drive! (sorry about the lack of aircon though). Enjoy!
