Message from Brian Burrows Re – JOHN O’ GROATS TO LAND’S END (1,000 MILES) ON MOPEDS

Subject: BEGGING EMAIL – JOHN O’ GROATS TO LAND’S END (1,000 MILES) ON
MOPEDS

Hi guys,

I normally wouldn’t do this, but it’s for a really great cause – so I’d
be really grateful if you could please take a couple of minutes to read
this.

Between April 6th and 13th I’ll be joining around 160 VW enthusiasts
and riding a 50cc moped from John O’ Groats to Land’s End in aid of
Brad’s Cancer Foundation.

I’m financing my trip myself so every penny of any donations will go
directly to the charity.

I’m hoping each of you can commit to sponsoring me for £5 – more would
be nice, but a fiver would be great – and make a huge difference to the
lives of some great kids.

I know cash is tight and everyone is busy, but please take some time to
read the details below.

If you can help please just reply to this email, if you can’t help, no
worries, just click ‘delete’. The cash won’t need to be paid until the
beginning of April by the way.

I know we all normally groan when we get requests for ‘sponsorship’ -
so, I’ll understand if you can’t help.

Thanks for reading.

Kind regards, Merry Christmas and a very happy 2012.

Brian Burrows

JOGLE 4 BRAD’S – VW ENTHUSIASTS ON 50cc MOPEDS!!!

Following an online discussion about long journeys on mopeds, a thread
was started on Volkszone.com (VW) forums asking if anyone would be
interested in a charity run from John O’Groats to Lands End – on 50cc
motorbikes!

As foolhardy an idea as it might appear, soon enough people started
putting their names down and it has snowballed from there.

There are now the best part of 160 riders and ‘support’ (following in
VW Camper Vans) signed up and bearing in mind most only ‘know’ each
other via the forums, it should prove for some interesting interaction
- especially as the forums have some strong characters who have butted
heads online previously.

We fully expect the trip to be full of ‘adventure’, dramas, comedy
moments and the unexpected. The trip includes a visit to Nottingham
City Hospital where the Brad’s charity has kitted out a ward for
teenage cancer sufferers.

The premise is simple, meet at John O’Groats in Scotland on the 6th
April 2012 where we will rally together that evening at the John O’
Groats Campsite ready for the off on the (early) morning of Saturday
7th April 2012.

Over the following week, we aim to cover around 1,000 miles to Lands
End in Cornwall while raising money for the Brads Cancer Foundation
along the way.

The whole journey will culminate in a weekend VW Camper Festival
(again, with proceeds going to Brads) – please see:

We wish Brian well and look forward to seeing how well he survived the trip as mopeds don’t have hide upholstery, air conditioning and all the creature comforts his large Chrysler provides……………bet he will be knackered with a capital K!
