Story

Drive for Hope – A 3000 mile journey for Hope House charity.

While some people in their seventies chose to take life easy, relax and reflect on a life well lived. We are choosing adventure and passion to make a difference.

This year, we are embarking on a special journey to raise money for the incredible Hope House Charity, a charity that provides crucial support for children with life-limiting conditions, and their families.

We will buy an old car for just £250 (not easy these days) and drive it 3,000 miles across the UK, traveling through England, Wales, and Scotland, all in the name of charity.

This challenge is not just about driving an old car. It’s about driving for something much bigger: Hope.

Please donate to help us reach our goal. Every penny raised will go directly to Hope House and will provide much-needed care, comfort, and support for children and families who need it the most.

Thank you for supporting us on this incredible journey, and for helping us drive for hope.

Love Alan and Wendy
