Here in the UK, I am sure many of you are aware of the Candlelighters Charity for Children with Cancer. https://www.candlelighters.org.uk

They have run a couple of great events this summer and I just wanted to say – if you get the opportunity pop along and support them.  Worldwide there are similar charities and they all deserve our support.

The Fire Engine?

At a recent event we were able to book a seat in a fire engine and given a ride around an old airfield test track.  Many of us, especially in the Motor Trade are familiar with performance cars from every brand and have been lucky enough to experience a pro-driver throwing a supercar around a track while we grin manically from the passenger seat.

If you haven’t tried the Fire Engine, your missing something!

The “it’s not going to make it, it’s not going to make it”, is heightened to an unprecedented level when the 8m long, 11 tonne vehicle your in is hurtling towards a 90 degree corner and the driver is showing no intention of slowing down.  Impressive just doesn’t cover it.

And Impressive is one thing I can say about the kids at the event.  No one should have to cope with Cancer, least of all children.  They are some of the bravest people I have ever met.  Send them some money!
