Story
Back for the first time in 2011, we present another London Tunnel Run, hosted by MissBanzai.com inviting all Japanese car owners!
Please read the details below and follow the donations instructions.
*** Note this is for Japanese cars only - no exceptions.. non Jap cars will be refused entry ***
The run will kick off at Essex Arena (RM19 1AE) on Saturday 12th March from 9.00pm. Maps will be handed out on arrival to those who have pre-paid through the Just Giving site. There will be no entry to the site after 10.30pm so please arrive on time.
In comments please put your club name & forum user name - nothing else! (this list will be used to hand out the route maps of the run on the night -there *may* be a limited number of maps on the night BUT this is NOT guaranteed).
Donations made via the Just Giving site will go direct to the nominated charity, Lupus UK. This is MissBanzai's 6th tunnel run and we decided that this would be our chosen charity for our event. One of our long standing members is currently being treated by the Lupus clinic at UCLH, he has yet to be officially diagnosed, but has been receiving treatment for this condition for the last 7 years.
Lupus is an autoimmune disease where the body's immune system becomes hyperactive and attacks normal, healthy tissue. This results in symptoms such as inflammation, swelling, and damage to joints, skin, kidneys, blood, the heart, and lungs. The main sufferers from Lupus are normally female, developing symptoms around either puberty or menopause and in most cases it’s a hereditary disease passed to female member of the same family. Only 1 in 10 sufferers are male and of those only 1 in 20 are under 30.
MissBanzai felt this would be a very worthwhile charity to raise money for on this occasion and a show of support to one of our members.
-Please arrive at the arena no earlier than 9.00pm. PLEASE NOTE you should use the go kart track entrance to the arena.
