My story

 

Thank you for visiting our fundraising page. Please dig deep and sponsor us online.

Our challenge is to raise money for charity by driving a £250 "banger" from Rouen in France, to Cabo da Roca (the most westerly point in Europe, on the Portuguese coast).... in three days.

As you can see, we have ambitious plans for our vehicle; provided we can find a Ferrari like that (with an MOT) for £250 we'll be buying one.  In the unlikely event that we can't we'll be driving something slightly less impressive, and quite possibly considerably older!

Incidentally, we pay for the car ourselves, so your donation won't influence the degree of style, level of discomfort, or amount of public transport we end up having to resort to - that will be all our own fault.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor us: Africa Bookcase - Gemini will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

Many thanks for your support.
