What is Miles for Smiles?
Drive 2,000 miles round Europe in an old banger in a test of human and mechanical endurance.
We'll be driving or maybe pushing our 20 year old, Mazda 323 through Western Europe, taking in the hard shoulders and roadsides of France, Germany, Switzerland and Italy, all with no mechanical knowledge.
All costs of the rally will be covered by team members, with all money raised going to the Trust.
The Alexandra Sales Trust
Established in memory of Alex, a friend diagnosed with a rare and aggressive form of cancer at the age of 17. Throughout her illness, Alex received help and support from small charities whose aim was to help young people and their families ‘smile’ in adversity.
With that in mind, Alex’s family and friends set up the Trust to provide ‘smile’ money to other young people being treated for cancer. This could include anything from an iPad to a weekend away with their family, anything to take their mind away from the daily trauma they endure.
So far the Trust has raised and spent nearly £150,000 on creating memories, but we want to help create more! Please donate whatever you can, even the smallest amount can make a big difference to the life of a young cancer sufferer. Thank you for your support!
