WHY:
We are going on a banger rally 3000 miles across Europe the destination is still a secret and its all in aid of the CLIC Sargent charity. CLIC supports children and young people with cancer. They provide a huge range of services from specialist social workers and nurses, to free accommodation near hospitals, holidays, and even financial support. They support from diagnosis and treatment, to hospital and home to after treatment helping survivors and the bereaved. Please visit the site http://www.clicsargent.org.uk or watch the video on the left to see where the monies go.
As anyone who knows me will no doubt be aware I was diagnosed with Cancer in 2006. I have since fully recovered and I now feel the time is right to start giving something back. Cancer charities do so much for so little and can really help recovery, mentally, financially, and physically. I was 27 when my world changed, and I was too old to deal with CLIC, however I am very aware of their work and it really is to be commended. CLIC helps children and their families, helping reduce the pressures that would go with being ill at such a young age and caring for kids in this position. This cause is very close to both of us and we believe we can raise around £3000 with your help.
The Task:
We are taking part in the scumrun www.scumrun.co.uk. You may have heard of the Gumball Rally well its an equivalent however all the cars have to be valued under £500. The event is sponsored by Fast Car magazine and will be covered by Sky. Our money went towards an old Toyota MR2 with wheels different sizes a ford steering wheel that does fit properly, a roof that leaks and that’s before we opened the bonnet. Very luckily we stumbled upon our angel Paul from www.woodsport.org a MR2 specialist who is going to work on our vehicle making sure it is road worthy, Paul has done all of this work for free as his sponsorship to us and we can’t thank him enough.
The Result:
We trust you agree it’s a truly worthwhile cause and we hope to raise as much as we can, helping CLIC carry on their truly amazing work. Please be assured all your monies go directly to CLIC they will not and cannot be spent on Steve and I having fun. Please give generously. We will update photos and the profile regularly.
