FAQ’s

Where does your money go and how is it being used?

All funds donated will be managed by Westmead Hospital Foundation with immediate application to ‘Straight Down the Centre’.

What are the estimate running costs?

In lieu of recent decisions to post pone this trek and host the event locally to the Central West, the original running costs will have to be reevaluated. The goal of Straight Down the Centre will always remain at our forefront. Maximise donations ensuring the greatest figure is made available to the Westmead Hospital Foundation.

As an example, the original estimates prior to the fuel crisis to support the 2722km drive incorporating travel to and from Cargo NSW fuel costs totalled approximately $5388.

A document projecting all running costs is being reassessed for the trek to go ahead in Orange NSW later in the year and will be made available for all donors and interested parties to view. This will highlight all expenses Brent has taken on personally through his business Brent Twaddle International Promotions PTY LTD.

How long will the charity remain open?

The terms of reference provided by the Westmead Hospital Foundation allows for donations to be collected up until December 2026. Due to the fuel crisis, Straight Down the Centre will likely request an extension to support the shifted location and itinerary.

This document will be made available shortly on this website.

Who has funded the build of the mower and trailer?

Brent, the founder, organiser and promotor of Straight Down the Centre has privately funded the build to date and will continue to do so. Brent commits that no donated funds will be utilised for the construction and preparation of the John Deere X750 and support trailer.
