Story

<p><strong>Racing 'towards a future without cancer'</strong></p> <p>Motivated by the fact that a large number of friends and colleagues have been affected by cancer over recent years I decided to help raise awareness and money to support the great work of The Christie NHS Foundation Trust.</p> <p>During 2011 my racecar has proudly displayed the Christie logo and at the start of the season I pledged to personally donate &pound;10 for every point that I scored in this years National Championship (now complete).</p> <p>In addition I am going to run 10k on the 27th December starting and finishing with a lap of the Coventry Motorspeedway circuit ahead of their Christmas race meeting.</p> <p>Originally my goal&nbsp;was to raise at least &pound;3,500 through my personal fund raising activities in 2011 and&nbsp;I started the ball rolling with my 'pounds for points' pledge, however thanks to an overwhelming response in the first week of my appeal this goal has been smashed, I have therefore revised my sights and&nbsp;I am looking for your support&nbsp;and asking you to dig as deep as you&nbsp;are able&nbsp;to help me raise at least &pound;5,000&nbsp;for this&nbsp;incredibly worthwhile cause.</p> <p>Thanks</p> <p>Iain</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
