The eight-day rally from Warwick in southern to Ballina will see drivers traverse about 5500km.
Event director Ken Godfrey said the group had set a target of $100,000 as part of the rally.
“So far we’re sitting at $65,000 so we’re a good portion of the way there,” he said last Tuesday.
This is the 16th Sids and Kids rally.
The drivers, including a team of 13 rugby league players from Serena, were accompanied by a Queensland ambulance vehicle to provide medical support.
Sids and Kids is dedicated to saving the lives of babies and children during pregnancy, birth, infancy and childhood and supporting bereaved families.
In Australia each year more than 3500 families experience the sudden and unexpected death of a baby or child, either through stillbirth or during the first month of life, from sudden unexpected death in infancy (SIDS or fatal sleeping accidents), SUDC (sudden unexpected death in childhood) or accident.
