Rally Adventure to raise funds for Hospice & Rebecca House
Two friends will begin a gruelling four-day rally today as part of a challenge to raise money for two Island charities.
Georgie Shelley and Voirrey Kennaugh are travelling across eight countries as part of the James Bond Swiss Run - Fireball Rally.
Journeying more than 2,500 miles across France, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Italy, Austria, Germany, Luxembourg and Belgium, the pair will enjoy some of James Bond’s most iconic locations including the Piz Gloria, the revolving restaurant as seen in the sixth Bond-film - On Her Majesty’s Secret Service - and the Goldeneye Dam.
Georgie said: ‘As I work and volunteer at Hospice Isle of Man, I am aware of the great care that it provides and the difference it makes to both patients and families. It has inspired me to do something a bit different to raise money for the charity.
‘I am also doing this challenge in memory of my father Stanley Shelley, who loved and appreciated cars, especially classics – I’d like to think he would have enjoyed taking part in this event himself.
