Hi,
I am a professional photographer and I am trying to organize and event to raise some money for a the only children’s hospice in the south west of England.
I am looking to get some owners of Super cars to drive to the hospice, to offer either paid rides in the car, or just photos with the cars. As well as maybe a ride for some of the terminally ill children at the hospice to brighten up their day!
This would also be a great PR /Press event for the charity.
In return for your kindness I would be happy to take a professional photograph of your car.
I also have plans for a charity calendar along the same lines with the super cars, to make a change from the usual naked rugby players (don't worry, you can keep your clothes on!).
If anyone can help can you please email me your details, and details of your car to.
info@evoke.org.uk
Thanks for reading!
Mark

Depending on dates, I would love to be a part of this!

Sounds like a wonderful idea and the concept of giving these incredibly brave kids rides in the car...it would be my absolute pleasure! I also have some very close friends ( of course Lambo owners) that might jump at the chance as well.

A very similar event for a Surrey childrens hospice was conducted last month. Details on Club Scuderia. You might get a few hints and tips from the organisers to help you make a success of it. smile

Hi Mark

Again depends on dates my son and I will also try to get there too as my Sister has Learning Disabilities and has just had treatment for Breast Cancer and I would love to return something back for all the hard work that the nurses and people do for these people and what a great way to do it.

Thank you everyone for your kind offers of support to this very worthwhile charity event. Not a confirmed date, but how does the 8th of November this year sound to everyone??

Hi all!
I hope you haven't lost interest in this idea! The guys at the hospice are taking a while to sort logistics and dates out. I have a meeting with them on the 14th of this month to tie down a date, I hope to move it to Sept / Oct when its hopefully a bit warmer.
Watch this space and thanks again for all your kind offers of help.

We could probably gather a few Ferrari's, including a few Strads + some other exotica - depending on where and when?
