I'm Driving Change for Kids in Need
I’m drving change for kids in need on the Variety Bash - the original outback motoring adventure built on mateship, challenge and making a real difference.
I’ll be hitting the road with my crew in a 25+ year-old themed car, taking on remote tracks and rough roads across regional Australia - all to raise funds for kids who need support.
This isn’t just a road trip - it’s a chance to give back. Along the way, we’ll stop into schools and small towns to deliver grants and equipment directly to the families who need it most. You get to see exactly where your fundraising goes - and the impact it makes.
By donating to Variety – the Children’s Charity, you’ll help:
-
Provide vital equipment like wheelchairs and communication aids
-
Build inclusive playgrounds where every kid can join in
-
Support education through programs and scholarships
-
Fund special events that bring joy and connection to families doing it tough
Every donation counts. With your support, we can help more kids gain independence, confidence, and the chance to live life to the fullest.
Back our Variety Bash car and donate to my fundraising page - let’s change lives, one town, one child, one kilometre at a time.
