As many of you are aware 1 in 2 of us will be affected by cancer in our life time, and in the past 2 years I have lost 2 good men to pancreatic cancer.

My little brother SGT Adam Hopper past away 2024 age 43 after an long and hard 18 month battle.

My charity race co-driver and friend Francis Price past away 2025 age 58 after a 3 month battle both to pancreatic cancer.

Both these close men were a significant part of my life and as such this charity drive is for them.

The challenge is to drive a vehicle classed as banger / cheap car across various destinations (approx 2500 miles) within a five day period in fancy dress and completing checkpoints and activities on the way.

Francis was my co-driver for this event last time even though we did an unexpected 200 mile detour in Germany and faced all extreme weather in a £700 Saab convertible, we made it through and home.

So as a tribute to a Francis and Adam, Jovan and myself will be doing it again, playing dashboard light roulette, what’s that noise on the car and asking the question will we make it home.

Thanks for supporting our fundraising. The number of people diagnosed with cancer is growing, and every one of them needs the best support to meet their unique needs.

That's why Macmillan will do whatever it takes to help everyone living with cancer across the UK get the support they need right now and transform cancer care for everyone who will be diagnosed in the future.
