My name is Ian, and in 2020 I was diagnosed with cancer of the thyroid. After two operations and radiation treatment I was given the all clear. The Hospice is an important cause to me, and this is why I am supporting it.

Many friends, both in the rallying community, and away from it, have been helped by Hospice Isle of Man, and the work they do to support people affected by cancer across the Island is invaluable.

I have set myself the target of entering (and completing!) the 2023 Roger Albert Clark Rally. I have been involved in motorsport and rallying for many years and I have been working together with my two sons, Luke and Ross, to restore and recommission an ex-factory Mitsubishi Starion rally car.

This car was originally built by Ralliart and is understood to have competed in the Asia Pacific Rally Championship.

I will be competing in the Roger Albert Clark rally in November 2023, covering a total distance of 1,200 Miles, which includes over 350 competitive stage miles through the famous forest tracks of England, Scotland and Wales.

The event was conceived in 2003, to recreate the iconic Royal Automobile Club rallies of the 1970’s and 1980’s. It is an event run with competitive mileage on closed forest tracks predominately for historic rally cars. It is now a major sporting attraction with both UK and worldwide appeal, several competitors and teams will be from overseas.

The car and entry have been fully funded by myself and Chris Sanderson and so 100% of your donation here will go to Hospice Isle of Man. I am really grateful for anything you can donate.
