x444wrx Posted May 3, 2010 Posted May 3, 2010 (edited) Please take the time to read this post.............. During 2010 Keyline Builders Merchants who I work for as a Branch Manager are supporting the Prostate Cancer Charity. In this time Keyline want to raise £50,000 and to help in this effort we will be driving from London to Monte Carlo and back in 96 hours in a team of 20 cars with 2 support vehicles. The added twist for us is that we will be travelling from Inveraray on the West coast of Scotland meaning that in under 6 days we will be driving 2600 miles between a team of 2 drivers. As a Husband and Wife team in a Subaru travelling from the furthest away destination to take part in Keyline's challenge, we are seeking your support by making pledges and helping to raise awareness. Prostate Cancer is the most common cancer affecting men in the UK yet few of us are aware of it. My Wife lost her father to cancer less than 2 years ago, and we really want to do our bit to support a cancer charity as its close to our hearts. One man dies every hour from Prostate Cancer. The Prostate Cancer Charity aim to fund research, give support and information, and campaign to improve the lives of men with Prostate Cancer. We want to help raise awareness and funds in their crusade in any way that we can. We were delighted to be a small part of the McRae Gathering helping to raise £53000 as participants and now its our chance to to help raise another £50000 for a worthy cause, please help us and show your support. All pledges are gratefully received. LINK NOW ADDED BELOW - http://www.justgiving.com/JOHN-VALLIS Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
