Chris Driscoll (RGS Parent) has been a pivotal figure in organising pulling together 16 teams to compete in this modern day wacky races event. We are delighted to announce that our very own Changing Lives campaign has been chosen as one of the charities that benefit from this tour de force.

The Dash to the Med starts on Wednesday 21st of September from Reigate in Surrey and ends in Cannes, France, on Saturday the 24th of September. The 16 cars can only cost a maximum of £500, with a 10% ‘dressing up and repair’ allowance. Motorways are not allowed as part of the route.

Each driver team has promised to raise a minimum of £1000, so already they have raised an incredible £16,000 towards their fundraising target of £50,000.

The enthusiasm from the group is amazing which will lend itself to making it an unforgettable trip. Everybody is desperate to start raising some serious money now for these worthy charities – Chris Driscoll
