Story

🚗 Dover to Benidorm… in a £300 Peugeot 206!🇫🇷🇪🇸

A bit late in the day, but on 8th September, Rachel and I will be taking part in a Rat Run Rally, attempting to drive from Dover to Benidorm — around 1,400 miles over 5 days — in a car we picked up for just £300! 😬

Our trusty steed is a 21-year-old Peugeot 206, so the first challenge may simply be making it to the start line!

Alongside the challenge We are hoping to raise as much as we can for Mary Stevens Hospice, a fantastic local charity providing free, specialist palliative care to people across the Black Country.

This is a charity that means a huge amount to us personally. Mary Stevens Hospice cared for Rachel’s mum, Marilyn, during the final week of her life. Marilyn was just 64 when she sadly passed away on 5th May 2018, following a short and cruel battle with a rare and aggressive cancer.

The care Marilyn and her family received was truly incredible. The kindness, compassion and support from the hospice went above and beyond, allowing Marilyn’s final days to be spent with dignity, in a calm and peaceful setting, surrounded by the people she loved.

We know times are tough financially at the moment, but any donation, no matter how big or small, would mean an awful lot to us — and to Mary Stevens Hospice. ❤️

We’ll be sharing our journey on Facebook, so please follow along and see whether the old Peugeot actually makes it to Spain! 😂🇪🇸

Thank you so much for reading, sharing and supporting us. ❤️
