I may need to add some rallies and car trials at the end of the year if some events get cancelled (or the cars break). </span></span></p>

This charity is very close to my own heart. Their motto is: “To add life to days when days can't be added to life...” and they were particularly supportive when my son Toby was ill and passed away in 2004. </span></span></p>
