My story

Hi I’m Kevin Lower, a Garage Proprietor with a small motorsport problem, 

 

I am celebrating my 50th birthday by entering 50 motorsport events between 4th March 2011 and 3rd March 2012.


We are calling this my Fifty@50 challenge

.

I will be doing mainly sprints, hill climbs and autotests at National, 'B', or clubsport level. 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).

 

We are raising money for Demelza Hospice Care for Children. 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.

 

I will be mainly using a Ford Escort RS2000, Mini Moke and a Mini Saloon to compete in these events - with back up from a brace of Ford Ka's if things go badly wrong!

 

The events range from Mallory Park in Leicestershire, Brands Hatch and Lydden Hill in Kent, Goodwood in Sussex, Crystal Palace in London and Snetterton in Norfolk, amongst others. I have registered for at least 4 national championships to accommodate fitting in 50 events in a year. 

 

I am a member of many motor clubs in the South of England, including; Eastbourne & Ram, 7Oaks and District, Farnborugh and District and Tunbridge Wells Motor Club.

 

All costs will be covered by Stafford Road Garage, who are funding the actual events, and therefore all sponsorship, every penny you give, will go straight to Demelza.

 

If you can, please sponsor me.

Many thanks!

Kevin
