Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I started my own Mercedes specialist servicing business in 2007. During the set up period I had a nasty accident which left me with very little mobility.  Through this time BEN, the UK's official and only automotive industry charity, were extremely supportive to me and with their help I was able to recuperate at a much faster pace than originally diagnosed. 

I am now in a position where I am celebrating my 8th year in business and I would like to repay BEN for their kindness and support through this very worrying and painful time. On Saturday the 16th of May I am holding an event for over 100 fellow Mercedes enthusiasts to showcase their cars. They will bring their families along to enjoy a day of fun including a bouncy castle, face painting, BBQ and much more. 

The event is called Benz on the Green (www.benzonthegreen.co.uk) and we very much hope that we can raise a substantial amount of money for BEN. Last year we managed to raise over £1500 and I am hoping that we can smash that target this year.

We all have to use the motor trade, whether it's for cars, parts, bodywork or repairs. BEN do brilliant work helping families, the elderly and anyone that is in the motor trade. Without their support I would not be where I am today. 

All of your donations, will go directly to BEN,  helping them continue their amazing work. People who couldn't make it last year were asking where they could donate so I thought I would make that a much easier process this year. 

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity. So it’s the most efficient way to donate – saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

Thank you so much for your support, it really does mean a lot.
