Dear Sir/Madam,

   This summer two fire fighters from Haslemere Fire Station are planning to take on an endurance driving fundraiser in an old Rover Mini Cooper. The intention is to drive from London to Monte Carlo and back again in under 51hrs.

The inspiration behind the idea was the 1964 Monte Carlo rally win by Paddy Hopkirk, the fact that’s 51yrs since Mini first rolled off the production line, and the desire to do something a little different to raise awareness and funds for The Firefighters Charity (www.firefighterscharity.org), and Unicef earthquake fund (www.unicef.org). 

   We are offering you the opportunity to raise funds by sponsoring the car. The fire crews would promote the event through the media and the event would be updated throughout via web blog and video diary. The car can be seen on the event website (www.fireballrun.co.uk)

We are aiming to raise a minimum of £5000 from the event, with your companies support we hope we can exceed this by a conciderable amount!

If you are also able to provide logistical support such as resources, assistance with ferry travel, communications, navigation equipment ,fuel or even a prize for the fund raising auction then support in this way is also vital and helps towards the overall total for the charities.

To sponsor the event directly, or meet and discuss this further please contact e on 07961102712 or email matt.oakley@surreycc.gov.uk

   Much appreciation for your time, and I look forward to hearing from you.

   Kind regards

   Matthew Oakley
