Panda Raid · 2 March 2018

Cash for Kids is a grant-giving charity, supporting young lives from birth to 18. Our mission is to improve the lives of disadvantaged children and young people across the South Coast, Surrey and Wiltshire who are affected by poverty, illness, neglect or have additional needs.

Story

We are two old school buddies from Hampshire, with a combined age of over 106.  We decided to embark on an adventure of a lifetime and raise money for a great cause. We have entered the Panda Raid March 2018 event, a rally starting in Madrid and ending in Marrakesh.  Seven nights through the Moroccan landscape in March, temperatures from -7 to +35, through snow, rocks and sand. The only rule for the rally is, it must be completed in a classic Fiat Panda!

We both work in the IT industry, so this is a huge challenge for us; first getting our donor 1991 Fiat panda 4x4 through an MOT, then the modifictions required to withstand the challenge. We are not mechanics but our general approach has been - how hard can it be?

A lot harder than we had thought..!
