Thank you for visiting my Leukaemia Research fundraising page. Please dig deep and sponsor me online.

 Thanks to all of you that we met at the RAF Waddington Airshow, and also great thanks to Richard "Nooky" Nauyokos" (Lads Army TV series) who helped us to have a very successful  weekend at Waddington despite the weather being somewhat unpredictable ! :-)

We are still seeking sponsors for our challenge, so if you can help, or perhaps know a company or individual that may be able to, please let us know !

No doubt a few of you visiting this fundraising page will have previously visited my  lastfundraising events page at www.justgiving.com/rocaroundtheclock which we completed  in August 2007 and managed to raise over £1550 (inc giftaid) for Leukaemia Research

This challenge (as the name suggests !) is going to be a little more involved than the last one, but we hope that our endevours will inspire you to once again "dig deep" and make this fundraiser even more succesful

As you will see from our logo on the left, we are not only raising money for Leukaemia Research, but also 2 other very worthy charities.The Nottinghamshire and Lincolnshire Air Ambulance, and Macmillan Cancer Support.

Yet again we are going to be driving "Scarlet", the 21 year old VW Scirocco Scala,but instead of just myself and my wife, this time the team is made up off 2 guys.Andy (me), and Glen.We both work within the NHS, and we figured that if you want to raise money for charity (ies !), you may as well go for it big style !.

Why Morocco ?................well it just happens to rhyme with "Scirocco"...if we had been using any other car it could have been "Bora 2 Bognor" or "Carina 2 Argentina" !, but we're not...so the name sort of took care of itself really.

You will probably notice in the picture that we have a very strange looking trailer !.This is our "Half Roc"...it's like a half Track...but made out of a scirocco and it's purpose (apart from novelty value) is to enable us to carry our supplies and accomodation (tents) with us.We don't do it the easy way like Ewan McGregor and his team....3 bikes....2 4x4's...medics,managers etc,etc.....we are it, 3 guys,1 car...and a halfroc !Also, we are going to be covering 3500 miles in 10-12 days...not 15'000 in 82......however  just like the "Long Way Down" team we will be filming the preparations/trip, so please look out for our Travelogue being posted in the near future.

As before, anyone who can help us in any way will instantly be on our "best mates" and Christmas card list....we need your help to help us to help others (is that to many "helps" in one sentance ?).If you feel you can do anything to...erm..help, then please email me:
