Dash To The Med Raises Money For Good Causes

BURTON ON TRENT, U.K. - Oct. 19, 2016 - PRLog -- Denis Welch Motorsport proudly sponsored the "Yellow Peril" driven by Neil Hardy and Mark Westley in the recent Dash to the Med charity rally.

The aim was to buy a car for no more than £500 and drive it from Reigate in Surrey to Cannes in the south of France. The total journey was about 850 miles and was undertaken without using motorways. 16 cars and 32 drivers took part, including Iron Maiden front man Bruce Dickinson.

Neil Hardy said "It was great fun!! The guys that organised it put in a hell of a lot of work over the last 6 months. All the work paid off as the trip seem to go seamlessly!!

Apart from being a good fun event the main purpose was to raise money for charity. So far nearly £80,000 has been raised for 4 charities: The Children's Trust & Variety which support disadvantaged children, ESDAS, the East Surrey domestic abuse support organisation and RGS Changing Lives, an educational bursary initiative.
