Gina and John heading to Monte Carlo in £500 banger

 

LOFA marketing manager Gina Hinde and her husband John will be heading to Monte Carlo in a £500 banger to raise money for Greenfingers Charity.

 

“We will start in Bridgnorth and drive 1629km through Belgium, Luxemburg, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Monte Carlo and finally cross the finish line in Nice,” said Gina.

“The journey starts on the 4th June and we will hopefully, fingers crossed, arrive in Nice on Sunday 7th June.  The rules state this is not a race. However, if there is an engine, four wheels and a steering wheel how can it not be a race? I shall probably be disqualified on the first leg.  

“As a huge petrol head I cannot wait to get started but I need your help.  We would love to raise a minimum of £3,500 for the charity, a bit more if we could. So I am appealing to your charitable side and asking if you could sponsor us either personally or via your company for as much or as little as you can manage. If you sponsor us via a company we will put your logo on our car as we sail across Europe.

“This means we could help create more magical gardens around the UK for life-limited children and their families, allowing them  to relax and spend quality time together. We will accept any currency in any denomination!

“You can help LOFA raise money for this great cause by donating directly to our JUSTGIVING fundraising page JustGiving sends your donation straight to Greenfingers Charity so that they can put your generosity to good use.”
