My story

 

Hi, thanks for visiting OUR fundraising page.

First things first! There are FOUR of us that have decided to complete the challenge that is Home 2 Rome. We are:  Ruth 'Struthy' Cordey, Becky 'Duce Coup' Cooper, Martin 'Bedders' Plummer and me - Simon 'The Stig' Newman.

Basically, we have four days in which we will attempt to drive our trusty £100 Saab 900S (with only 212,000,00 miles on the clock!), from Home, yes you've guessed it - to Rome! Fortunately, the car is sound and we owe a massive THANK-YOU to Brian Stabler for getting us on the road, without him we wouldn't be doing this... Also, QUEST SAAB at Maldon have heard about us and have very generously offered to sponsor us - they've given us £500 to cover our fuel bill !!! As such, we are now known as Team Simon Newman - questsaab.com  !!!
There are various challenges to complete on route and we will be competing against approximately 100 other teams! Our team motto is: Drive it like you stole it! so, I'm sure the prize money is as good as ours... well, Little Havens!

Well thats the challenge and donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor us: Little Havens Children's Hospice gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

So please sponsor us now!

Many Thanks...

N.B: 20th September - WOW! Thanks everyone, we've hit our target !!! Though please don't stop giving, we're gonna see if we can double it !!! THANK YOU !

N.B: 4th October - Fantastic News! We've doubled the target! Well done everyone! We have approximately £200 in off line donations to add, so with the Gift Aid supplement - WE'VE ALMOST TREBLED THE TARGET !!!!!!!!!! Woo Hoo!! Thank You everyone!!!
