If Ford is the backbone of Great Britain, then TrustFord is surely the heart of the community with their endless drive to raise funds for charities on both a local and national level.

Following on from the success of last year's inaugural event, at 11am on the 17th of October we'll be joining one of many cars leaving TrustFord's fleet distribution centre in Long Marston for the second TrustFord Breakout for Ben.

From there we'll have 25 hours to get as far away from the start point as possible... all in the aid of Ben, an independent charity and dedicated partner to the UK's  automotive industry, providing support for life for automotive people and their dependents.

We're obviously going big, so Team Auto Trader are aiming to cross 10 borders en route to our planned destination, with a bit of fancy dress and frivolity along the way.

AND TO MAKE IT MORE WORTHWHILE, the total amount raised on this page, and through our internal fund-raising at Auto Trader HQ, will be matched by Auto Trader so whatever you donate is automatically doubled!

On top of our £6000 entry donation, we're looking to raise as much as we can for our industry's charity so please dig deep for a great cause and keep an eye on where we're up to during the event on social media via @ATInsight and @The_Marques_Man (One of our drivers).
