Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

We are a bunch of mates (Matt, Jonny, Nat and Greg) that, in the time-honoured tradition of chatting over a pint, decided to try and raise a decent amount of money for charity and hopefully have some fun along the way.

In order to raise the money, we have split into two teams and we intend to buy and modify a car each – for a maximum of £500. Once we have our budget racers ready, we are going to drive them to the Nürburgring and complete a lap each before driving them home. Ironically, the Nürburgring doesn’t encourage racing, so the laps won’t be timed – but it should be pretty clear which team has won.  It will probably be the team that doesn’t arrive home on the back of an AA truck. Once we have made it safely back to the UK, the cars will be auctioned and the proceeds will be added to the total raised.

You can read more about the Challenge and about how you can help on our website - http://ringchallenge.co.uk/.  It will be used to make regular updates on every aspect of the trip – details of sponsors; the hunt for cars; modifying those cars; and on the trip itself, we will be posting regular updates to the blog via our phones.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - we raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.
