My story

We did it! Moggins behaved impeccably all the way from High Wycombe to Macon and back. And, despite our having to navigate and drive through foreign lands, we are still speaking to each other!

There are some more photos of the event in blogs at www.beaujolaisrun.com.

And we won a prize!! Obviously, not for being the fastest car in the race; or the prettiest. But we won "L'esprit du Cours" - the spirit of the race. Perhaps for being the slowest, least glamorous vehicle there, but for still being prepared to give it a go.

A huge thank you to everyone who sponsored us. The event raised, in total, over £165,000, and our "minor" contribution was about £3,500. (I bought something at the charity auction without Heather realizing).

It's not too late to donate if you still want to.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor us: Winston's Wish 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.

Even though we've reached our target, your donation will go to charity!! So don't be put off.

Many thanks for your support.

Richard and Heather
