Four lads from Wessex Mini Club are hanging up their car keys and taking to their bikes for a 10-day, 1000-mile charity marathon from John O'Groats to Lands End.
Wessex MOC, one of the oldest Mini clubs in the UK and has always prided itself on being a fun and friendly club. With this ideology they have supported a number of charities and fundraising events over the years.
For the last few years, working with Minis4Kids they have supported Wave 105’s Cash for Kids, attending the fundraising days at Gunwharf Quays, charity cinema screenings and helping with Prom runs. Each event has raised much needed money for children’s charities.
For 2011, four members of the club, Rob, Robin, Kevin and Darren have come together for a monumental physical challenge. In place of driving their cars to raise money, this year they are taking to two wheels in an epic challenge. This July they will begin a cycle ride starting from John O’Groats and ending at Lands End, a distance of nearly 1000 miles to be undertaken in 10 days.
A club spokesperson said: "With Wave 105 Cash for Kids as the chosen benefactor of this physical challenge, we know the funds will go to local children in need."
