The Ben Fund Bonanza, which was held at Workington earlier in the season, is looking towards a remarkable fundraising boost.
Many people have helped to boost the Speedway Riders Benevolent Fund in many ways, really putting themselves out and working hard to raise the much-needed funds for injured riders.
It is probably fair to say that no-one has every undertaken quite such a difficult task as that facing Chris Morton, John Curtis, Derek Richardson and colleagues who will commence the sponsored cycle from Cardiff to Wroclaw which starts on Saturday.
John Curtis and Chris Morton were at Northside for the the Ben Fund meeting at Northside on July 14.
“I can only think they must be mad,” said SRBF chairman Paul Ackroyd, “but I am very happy that they are.”
Those undertaking the marathon journey will be appearing at Cardiff, on track, early in tomorrow’s British Grand Prix, where the fans will give them their send-off as the estimated two-week marathon commences.
It has already been announced that Ove Fundin and Marek Cieslak will be joining the others for the closing stages, and it is hoped to post news and video clips on srbf.co.uk during the journey.
