Marbellas to the Arctic - Charity Drive

[shorty]

Hi All,

Hope no-one minds me posting this as it is car related - albeit the lowest powered vehicle I have ever owned!

I am part of a group of six people who will be driving two SEAT Marbellas (think Mark 1 Fiat Pandas but with less power) from Southampton to a point inside the Arctic circle in Norway - via Marbella (well it would be rude not to!) in aid of the charity DebRA.

The details can be found here.
There is also a justgiving page and Facebook group.

It is for an extremely good cause, raising awareness about a condition that is far more common than a lot of people (me included before I got involved in this) realise.

If you can spare the time please have a look at some of the websites and sponsor us.

Thanks for reading!

Just so you have some idea of the scale of this adventure, this is one of the cars (the newer one!) as I've just picked it up!

That's about 7000 miles in 16 days!
