In October 2016 my little boy Reuben was diagnosed with High Risk Neuroblastoma, a rare and aggressive type of cancer, at the age of just 16 months. Sadly after 9 months of intensive non stop treatment and so many days and nights in hospital, he lost his fight against this terrible disease and passed away on 6th August 2017, aged just 2 years old. Obviously losing my little boy this way was absolutely devastating to me, my wife and our family. Reuben was doing so well with his treatment, he bravely faced up to every challenge like a true little hero. We really thought he would be one of the lucky few to survive Neuroblastoma.

In the U.K. cancer is the most common cause of death in children aged 1-14 years! Despite this, children's cancer research is almost entirely funded by donations and fundraising by the public. The aim of Children’s Cancer North is to find better and less aggressive treatments for children’s cancer and improve survival rates.Race 4 Reuben is a kart team competing in 24 hour Kart Endurance Races. Competing in a 24 hour race is a real test of skill, stamina, endurance and teamwork. There will also be up to 60 other teams to race against. It’s not easy, but the courage and determination Reuben showed throughout his treatment will always be our inspiration.

We have been racing in Reuben's honour and memory since 2017, winning the British 24hr twice in 2021 and 2024. Our aim this year is to reach our £2500 target and to defend the title of Champions in the Elite Hire class and overall winners of the hire class, by winning it for an unprecedented 3rd time!
