Story

I believe 75 is the new 25, and I can think of nothing more thrilling than the adrenaline rush of zooming down the course at Bideford. The icing on the cake is that I can also support ChemoHero. This local North Devon charity gives a box of kindness to chemotherapy patients on their first day of treatment.

So on the 7th of July, I will be putting on my Stig outfit and zooming down the course in my Dachshundmobile. Grandad Racer has secured the mighty power of the one and only Thor (my Son-in-Law Harry) to provide nitrous for the Dachshundmobile.

OK, so if you have got this far, my daughter Sophie set up this page for me. Thanks Sophie.

I am only adding one figure for offline donations (currently around £200 at time of writing) so it looks like some sponsors are incredibly generous! Any amount is most welcome, it’s all in a good cause.

If any childhood friends who rode the trolleys (that’s what we used to call them) that I built as a 10 ish year old are reading this, give generously - your still alive aren’t you! (Adrian that’s for you 😂).

To find out more about the charity, please visit chemohero.org.
