I’m taking on a massive challenge: driving the entire length of the UK in a vintage 1963 Massey Ferguson 35X that I’ve loved restoring with the help of Mike. My goal is to raise as much money as possible for three amazing charities: Royal Brompton and Harefield Hospital, the British Heart Foundation, and Cancer Research UK.

These charities hold a very special place in my heart due to personal experiences. The incredible team at Harefield Hospital performed a life-saving double lung transplant on my stepdaughter, Charlotte. The team were amazing and I would like to support them so they can continue saving lives. Tragically, I lost my close friend Matthew to a heart attack. The British Heart Foundation do some amazing work to raise awareness, fund research and support families so any donations will help this worthy cause. I lost another dear friend, Katherine, to cancer and I would love to support Cancer Research UK by raising funds for critical research which can lead to breakthroughs in treatment and hopefully a cure.

The work these organisations do is truly inspiring, and every penny you donate will make a difference. There is no donation too small. If you want to donate simply click the “Give Now” button then click “Donate to Ben” next to the charity of your choice.

I’d like to thank you all so much for your generosity – your support means a great deal to me.
