I am looking for some kind generous people to make my 14 year old nephews dream come true.
Any help is greatly appreciated

Jack now 14 was diagnosed with a rare genetic condition called Von hippel lindue disease (vhl) when he was 5 years old his mum, and younger sister Cerys (12) and younger brother arran (2) also have vhl.
Its is a condition which causes begnign and cancerous tumours to grow on internal oragns.
THERE IS NO CURE FOR VHL.
All that can be done is be checked and scanned regularly.
jack has lost sight in his left eye and now has tumours developing on his right which could potentially cause him to lose his sight all together. Although one of Jacks dream cars is a Porsche he has a very keen on super cars aswell and has a very long list of dream cars (he wants to go to Dubai to experience the car seen there) and we are looking for as many kind people possible to give him a passenger ride in their car as possible.

Speak to either the official Porsche club: https://www.porscheclubgb.com/

or the independent Porsche club: http://www.tipec.net/

They have a list of members and may be able to put you in touch with someone local

I am very sorry to hear that!
Unfortunately I can't help as I moved to Germany, but hopefully others on here will be able to take him out in their cars.
I wish you good luck

It might also be worth you contacting Sporting Bears as they may well be able to help, I know of at least one member in your neck of the woods, http://www.sportingbears.co.uk/

Good luck!

Jack will be coming to the Tartan Tarmac meet at Motherwell College on Sunday and then driving over to Porsche in the Glen at Calderglen in East Kilbride with me in my 911R. If any other Porsche or Supercar owners would like to take him for a little run or just let him sit in their car just ask any of the Tartan Tarmac team for the guy with the 911R, they all know me.

Let's make it a special day for the lad.
