Fund Raising At the Essex Spectacular

VW Van Centre (Chelmsford) are proud to announce that intrepid fundraiser, Charlie Pitcher, together with Donna Richardson, raised a total of £168.00 for local charities from their joint endeavours on our stand at the Essex Spectacular that was held on the 5th-7th August 2011 at Barleylands, Billericay, Essex.

Charlie, from Felsted, is the first man to run the Marathon Des Sables and row solo across the Atlantic in one year. More recently, he became the first man to run non-stop from the top of Ben Nevis to the top of Britain, some 350km in 100 hours.

Charlie brought along his rowing machine as part of a competition held on the weekend in aid of his favourite charity.

Donna applied 'face-paint' to children for a donation over the weekend.

VW Van Centre (Chelmsford) would like to thank them both for all of their time and support over the weekend.
