Wimmera Against Cancer in Kids will present a new award at its annual fundraising Horsham Car and Bike Show on Sunday, honouring the memory of trustee Keith Fischer.

Organiser and WACK volunteer Simon Clark said the major trophy was for best in show.

“We’re having one major trophy in honour of trustee, Keith Fisher, who sadly passed away last year – it’s for the best overall car or bike of the show,” he said.

The show raises money for WACK’s cause – helping families with everyday expenses while their children receive medical treatment.

“We’re helping five families at the minute with sick kids. Every dollar we raise goes to help them out with food vouchers, or fuel vouchers, to help pay a couple of bills, just the incidental things that help take the load off,” he said.

“Every little bit helps and it’s hard when you live in two lives. 

“You’ve got stuff going on back here and you’re down in Melbourne getting treatment, and backwards and forwards. 

“Those little incidental things can make a massive difference. And that’s basically what WACK’s all about, helping take a little bit of the load.”

Mr Clark said WACK had raised more than $600,000 with the car and bike show, helping more than 70 families in the 25 years of the show.

He said show participants could exhibit one or several cars or bikes for a flat $10, with spectator entry by gold coin donation. “We usually get well over 200 cars and bikes – I’ve got a fair few coming over from Mount Gambier this year, which will be nice to change things up,” he said.

“And there’s plenty of new cars that have been built around the area. 

“So hopefully the weather gods will play nice and we’ll have a good turnout.”

The show is at May Park from 9am on Sunday.
