Story
Over Remembrance weekend, the Mission Motorsport team and hundreds of others take part in a variety of events under the "Race of Remembrance", which includes a 2hr karting endurance race at Thruxton Kart Centre - paused for a pitlane Remembrance service at 11am on Sunday.
For many of our beneficiaries, a typical Remembrance service is too much to handle, bringing up so many powerful and haunting memories. With the focus on racing, not only does it help to distract from what is known to be a difficult time for many, but it also means there is an incredibly supportive community, ready to be a shoulder to cry on, a hand to hold or someone to talk to all around.
They are different people from different spheres of the military, but all have one thing in common, save being blown up by IEDs, all will tell you that racing has helped them stay alive.
A bit of fun to support vital charity work, helping those whose joy for life has waned to find the fun
