UPDATED: The VADO Rally 2018
June 12, 2018
Hot off the heels of his epic London Marathon experience where Sales & Marketing Director, Mike Tattam raised over £5,000 for Child Rescue Nepal, he has now completed his second challenge for charity this year, The Vado Rally 2018.
Mike joined the BMF team, John Newcomb, Oz Bham and James Spillane and helped raise £17,300 for Variety and the Rainy Day Trust, whilst winning ‘Best Fundraising Team’ and finishing in third place.
Other members of the kitchen, bedroom and bathroom industry also competed, and altogether raised a staggering £90,322.
The challenge
Drivers from builder’s merchants to retailers and buying groups, were challenged to trek through Copenhagen, Namur, Amsterdam, Lüneburg and Malmo in a road-legal car worth under £500.
To make the event even more engaging, teams were encouraged to participate wearing fancy dress, with different themes and challenges to be completed each day. With customised cars and costumes, the VADO Rally was a spectacular occasion for all to enjoy.
Many thanks to everyone that sponsored them.
The BMF @VADO_uk Rally team raised £17,300 & won best fundraising prize, being placed third. Thanks to all the teams who also drove 1300 miles through 7 countries in 4 days, raising a total of £90,322 for @RAINYDAYTRUST & @VarietyGB. #vadorally.
