Story

Rolling for Cancer

Here’s the backstory. When we decided to create Streetwise Motoring Events in 2019 little did we know the world was about to go into turmoil. Events stopped, people were frightened, and we had to rethink our lives and plans. We did as well.

So, we turned the event plans we had on its head. Instead of being a location-based operation we decided it would be a good idea to bring our invited enthusiasts and vehicles to the people and to the streets where they live.

We decided that one of our events should be a charity fundraiser, for Cancer Research to be precise. It is named Rolling for Cancer. There is a story here too. We all, in our lives, will likely be affected or touched by this terrible illness and one of our Directors is no exception. His uncle was Andy Rollings.

Andy was a scooter fanatic and it felt like we needed to do something in his memory. Thinking of an event he would enjoy, and taking his name, Rolling for Cancer was born!

Rolling for Cancer is a drive out and drive through event based from and returning to Eastnor Castle near Ledbury, in beautiful Herefordshire. We will take in towns and other interesting locations within the Cotswolds, bringing an eclectic mix of two and four wheeled vehicles to the people in the form of a convoy, or rolling motoring show.

Scheduled for February 2022, this one-day event will bring together an invited group of driving and biking enthusiasts, united in making a difference to people’s lives affected by cancer. Great roads, sights and experiences await as well as awards for best in show, best attired, most money raised and most tagged vehicle. Fund raising will be via Just Giving and non-participants who may also wish to donate can do so there.
