DASH TO THE MED 2
In 2016, sixteen cars set off from Reigate 🏁 , each costing no more than £500, each faced with a near 1500km drive through the heart of France, A roads only. A 3 day, epic journey raising well over £80,000 for charity, striking fear into the heart of every driver & co-driver - would their fine steed make it through the night and day that followed? And here we go again, with a little twist of summer.... On 7th June 2023, at 17.00, 15 cars, all soft tops, all costing less than £999 will depart from Old Reigatians Rugby Club, on Park Lane in Reigate, heading for Portsmouth and the overnight ferry to St Malo. Cars can ONLY be driven with the roof down, come rain ☂ or shine 🌞 . So, drivers, pack your raincoats and your parasols!! The whole trip, every single cost, is being covered by the drivers which means that EVERY SINGLE PENNY raised goes directly to our 4 chosen charities;-
https://www.renewedhope.org.uk/ - They provide practical solutions and emotional support to the homeless, vulnerable and isolated of East Surrey. They seek to see all who come to them given a new hope and the opportunity to build a new life.
https://www.esdas.org.uk/ - They help anyone who lives or works in the East Surrey area who has, or is experiencing domestic abuse. They promote the ethos that everyone has the right to live life free from threats, violence and abuse.
https://www.rgs.foundation/ - They provide first class educational opportunities for children whose potential is far greater than their financial means. They aim to produce sufficient income to support a wider range of deserving pupils through immediate bursarial support addressing the issue of Social Mobility in the local area.
https://www.myname5doddie.co.uk/ - They are absolutely committed to a vision of a world free of Motor Neuron Disease, leaving no stone unturned in their relentless pursuit of this goal.
