Story

Hi and thank you for visiting our fundraising page!!!

Let me give you a bit of info as to why we are hosting this event and what its in aid of...

MX5Nutz is a community primarily for MX5 drivers across the UK - and the world - to get together and chat about cars, life and everything.  We have people from all walks of life and ages from young whippersnappers to golden oldies that just should know better!

Over the years the forum has been running - we have really become more than a community, we are a big family.  Everyone knows everyone and we hold many meets across the country just to hang out and chat - we have celebrated births, weddings, birthdays and good fortune together and have been there for people when they have experienced tragedy or misfortune.

One of our members (in fact a forum moderator) has the condition called Dermatomyositis... ordinarily a condition that would really effect peoples' lives - but not Will... he is one of the most strong willed people that I know and has a great zest for life! 

Recently - our good friend was hospitalised for a problem with his kidneys, thought to be caused by the dermatomyositis, which has really effected him, his fiancee and all of us that know and love him.  The sheer amount of support for him has been astounding and has brought the condition to the forefront of mine, and others thoughts.

So, we have decided as a community to do something to support research into this condition - and of course build it into a fun event that will hopefully raise the awareness of the condition and be remembered for a long time to come!


So - the details of the event for anyone interested in watching!!!!

It will be held at a 'run what you brung' event at Santa Pod Dragstrip in poddington on Sunday the 28th October 2007

The attendance list is growing and growing and its looking to be a fantastic day out.  We wont be the only people running - as members of the public will be there to test their metal as well... but all in all it will be a fantastic day out.

Again, thank you for visiting our fundraising page. Please dig deep and donate what you can as every little will help!
