Story

The Clare Rhodes Foundation presents, Clare’s Crazy Cruise!!!!

Originally planned to take place across Europe (denied by Covid) you will now see a team of men (BIG men) squeezing themselves into small cars and rallying across the UK, all to raise money for Clare’s wonderful charity, The Mary Stevens Hospice!

Very much like the Italian Job, there will be three Mini’s all chased by the police, for crimes that cannot be mentioned!!!! We will be frequenting some of the places that Clare loved the most and all whilst travelling roofless !! That’s right …. Big MEN, small Cars… all convertible, and the rules stipulate that roofs are not allowed regardless of the weather!!!!!   

Starting at the Hospice itself in Stourbridge, we will make our way down to the south coast, and then head west, where we will drive the entire southwest/west side of England, into Wales, back into England and Home, all whilst trying to evade capture for crimes against fashion … The fancy dress is set to be massive!!!

Our itinerary: -

2nd August Start line = Mary Stevens Hospice ..
Please please please come and see us off at 12:30 lunch time and witness what costumes we are driving in !!!!  

2nd August Stop Torquay

3rd August stop St Ives

8th August Finish Line … The Crown in Stourbridge @ 4:30pm ish opposite the Hospice .. where we hope you will all come and meet the team and join us for drinks and more fundraising.   

If you have a Business and want to get involved there is still time to advertise your organisation on our cars, all for a small fee where all proceeds will be given to the Hospice. Please get in touch directly with Matt Rhodes – Matt.rhodes@quiss.co.uk

My Clare may no longer be with us in body, but in spirit and heart she lives on forever. She was a truly remarkable, loving, and caring lady, who’s legacy will remain that she has and will continue to help others.
