Story

This is the 3rd year of the Big Beach Buggy Weekend.  Back in 2009 RMCH saved my daughters life.  I am eternally gratefull.  When she was in hospital I realised how time drags and how depressing it can be for the children.  But when children smile and laugh so much changes.  They feel better, they recover faster, they chersh moments of joy for long periods of time. 

So that got me thinking and I for reasons we will not go into now own a 1972 Beach Buggy.  I also have some great friends all over the UK who also own Beach Buggies.  Kids love Beach Buggies.  Just looking at them makes them smile.  So for the 3rd year my friends and I will be driving from locations all over the UK in Beach Buggies to make some children smile.

This is quite an achievement as some of the vehichles date back from the early 60s.  And the sight of Beach Buggies in Manchester is certainly something you do not see every day!  This year we even have one Beach Buggy coming from Belgium!!!

Our most important goal is to make some poorly children smile.  Our second goal is to raise awarness for RMCH.  If we can do both and also raise some money for the charity that would be even better still.

So thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
