America's British Reliability Run Includes Three Separate Runs for 2008
In it's sixth year, America's British Reliability Run is a challenging, but fun, driving event that so far has raised more than $130,000 for worthy children's charities. This year, three separate 800-mile runs on the same weekend, September 27-28, 2008, will benefit three highly-rated, local childrens' charities. One run starts in Michigan, another in Pennsylvania, and yet another in Alabama! Each two-person team pays their own expenses out-of-pocket and has a goal of raising $500 for the charity.
Up to 40 British cars of any marque or vintage may participate in each run. Even if you can't participate in the run, please support this effort by making a donation of any size. Again, teams pay their own expenses, so 100% of your donation goes to the charity, please help us increase our total! To register your car, donate, or read more about the run, visit http://www.abrr.org.
STORY IDEAS
We have registered an all-female crew, driving a 1971 Triumph Stag. She expects to have two additional co-drivers and her dog, since this model has 2-plus-2 seating.
