Fundraiser with a difference!

On a drive out earlier this afternoon, I passed through Keston Village and noticed what I thought was a group of Ferraris outside The Greyhound pub… On my way back, I noticed they were still there & there was a huge crowd of people gathered around on the green opposite watching & as I got home, all I could hear was screaming V8’s going up the hill back towards Keston Village. So naturally, I grabbed my camera, jumped in the car and set off to Keston Village to find out what was going on.

It turned out to be a fund raiser for a charity called Walking to Happiness to help a little girl with a rare disorder meaning she cannot walk unless she has a very expensive operation. To help raise funds, they have organised various events, this one being a “Dream Cars” day where you can pay, say £20, for a ride in any of the cars available. The cars on offer included:

• Ferrari Testarossa
• Ferrari 430 Scuderia
• Ferrari 355 Berlinette
• Ferrari 360
• Ferrari 330
• Ferrari 348 TS
• Austin Healey 3000
• Jaguar E-Type
• Ford Mustang
• Aerial Atom

I was eying up the Testarossa, very tempted to ask for a ride in it… but I didn’t have my wallet and I can’t really afford to be spending my money on a ride round the block as fun as it may be…

I did however, get a few pictures of the cars which can be viewed in my album gallery. The album is here: Walking to Happiness Fundraiser
