Lands End to John O Groats

Thu 1 Aug 2024

I'm driving from Eynsham to Lands End to John O Groats and finishing in Stafford avoiding as many main roads and sections of motorway as possible.

My Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my fundraising page. Cancer is happening right now, which is why I’m fundraising right now for Cancer Research UK. There’s no time to lose! Donate to my page today and help bring forward the day when all cancers are cured. Cancer has certainly affected my family numerous times over the years, This car was the last project I worked on with my Dad before he decided he wasn't strong enough to have treatment for 2nd time. The car sat unused for many years,I decided last year when I saw how bad it was starting to look again that I needed to use it. Car originally cost £300 many years ago this vehicle saved my licence. Every drive is a memory so well worth putting it back on the road even if it breaks down it's still a good memory. My dad worked in the motor trade most of his life and was first emergency service. He would pick the phone up and instantly know "where are you this time what's broken". Those that know me will know I'm very quiet around people I don't know, but this vehicle means I have to talk to people. Whenever I return to it somebody will be waiting to chat. The car is anything but practical ,I can carry more on the motorcycle. But the bike wouldn't be a challenge. The car makes people smile everywhere it goes. It stands out so should attract attention on route,hoping to stop at multiple towns to maximize collections. #charity #cancer #challenge #cars #retro #roadtrip #memories @cancerresearchuk
