Story
Jim Bertram – General Manager of Carcraft, West Midlands along with staff, friends and colleagues will be embarking on an epic journey in 2009 raising £100,000 for Promise Dreams in
Jim and the team are well up for the challenge having done the “Three Peaks Challenge”, The Great North Run and various fundraising events over the past few years. Jim explains the reason the team are behind the local charity is because in November 2008 all staff at Carcraft –West Midlandsvoted collectively to nominate Promise Dreams as the charity they could adopt for 2009.
Jim has been inspired by the work which Promise Dreams does for the community working especially with children suffering terminal illness. He has seen first hand the tremendous work this small charity puts in from meeting the children’s heroes to essential lifesaving equipment and they pull out all the stops with a dedicated team that go all the way to make things happen!!
