Today we have announced a new fundraising challenge, the Radical Rogues Rally, following a pledge to help fight dementia by supporting the charity, Race Against Dementia.
After undertaking the CannonBawz Challenge last year and raising over £6,000 with a group of fellow drivers, the company was keen to launch a new challenge in 2023 to support the charity in a larger way. And so the Radical Rogues Rally was born.
RADical Rogues Rally
The new event, which is going to be headed by Co-Managing Director, James Worthington, will take place from 19th to 22nd May when a selection of super, sports and classic cars will tour around 4 different routes in Wales – the Dragons Spine, Snowdon to Anglesey, Anglesey itself and the Brecon Beacons to South West Coast route – adding up to over 500 miles.
James expressed, “After dementia took my father, I felt compelled to actively support the battle against this dreadful disease. I am determined to raise as much money as I can for Race Against Dementia.”
Who are the RADical Rogues?
A number of other Race Against Dementia supporters have already signed up to join the event. John Race, Paint Facility & Technical Lead at Charge Cars and one of MyWorkwear’s customers agreed to undertake the challenge
They will be joined by other MyWorkwear customers Phil Stanley, Owner of TWP Group, Steve Wood, Castings Operations Director at Bridge Aluminium Ltd and HCM Engineering’s MD, Simon Hanson, who lost his father to dementia. Chairman of Midlands Aerospace Alliance, will also be joining the RADical Rogues in May.
Sir Jackie Stewart, a three-time Formula 1® world champion, founded RAD after his wife, Helen, received a dementia diagnosis. Over 50 million people worldwide have dementia today with a new person diagnosed every three seconds.
