π Amber NT Memorial Car Drive β What a Beautiful Day of Remembrance π
Our 2026 Memorial Car Drive has officially wrapped up. While numbers were slightly lower this year, we know many families and supporters are navigating challenging times, and we are incredibly grateful to everyone who joined us on Sunday 31st May to honour and remember the babies and children who are forever held in our hearts.
This special event began as the vision of our former Vice Chair, Joost, in memory of his son Finn. Joost wanted to create a day that celebrated Finnβs life, brought people together, and raised vital funds to support other families experiencing the heartbreak of child loss.
If you look closely through the photos, youβll spot Finn the Crocodile β Amber NTβs mascot β and his signature dragonfly proudly displayed on many vehicles throughout the drive. Finn even made some new friends along the way and was especially touched to see cars decorated in loving memory of precious babies and children.
