06-06-06 Sad news

All of our team members have friends and family that have suffered from Cancer in the last few years, hence our reason for choosing Cancer Research to raise money for.

On Sunday I received sad news from my parents. A very close friend, Mike Freeman passed away over the weekend. He had been suffering from Bone Cancer for a number of years. I guess I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for Mike, as he introduced my parent’s way back in the sixties! I know Mike will be a great loss to his family and friends.

Today I also found out the sad news of a fellow Corrado owner passing away. I regularly visit and post on the the-corrado.net , this is forum for owners of the VW Corrado (our team name teamrado comes from 3 of the team driving Corrado's). I was very sad to read that one of the members of the forum, Stormin Dave had suffered from Cancer and passed away recently. The forum are raising money to help Dave’s wife Jo to store Dave’s Corrado away for their 4 year old Son Joshua, so that he can drive his dad’s car once he is old enough.

Raising money for Cancer Research seems even more fitting now. Please help us to reach or exceed our target of £2000 by visiting Just Giving.
