For veteran esCarpadian “Doc” Warwick Mackay, the 20th esCarpade has special significance – because he was there for the very first one in 1992.

Doc had previously been on another charity run, and decided Camp Quality was the cause he’d like to support. Several cars and more than 60,000 km later, Doc just keeps on coming back for more, and his massive, tiger-striped Chev wagon is a standout in the field. Doc will tell you that he has “raised only a modest amount” – which is to say, more than half a million dollars all up! – and says it’s mostly about having something enjoyable and worthwhile to do.
Not surprisingly, Doc has been the face of our 20th esCarpade for several of the media covering the event, so don’t be surprised if you see his happy smiling face pop up in the paper at some stage.
