STRICTLY LAND-ROVER VEHICLES ONLY – ALL MODELS ARE VERY WELCOMEThis is a charity run - so please give generously at https://www.justgiving.com/page/drive4hearts?utm_medium=FR&utm_source=CL
Starting at the end of January, Dr Julian Paton will be driving awareness of Rheumatic Heart Disease (RHD). Rheumatic Heart Disease destroys the lives of around 1,400 children in New Zealand each year.
To bring attention to this devastating disease and raise research funds for the cure and prevention - Dr Paton, with the support of Land-Rover New Zealand - will be completing a journey from Dunedin in the south, to Auckland in the north, in New Zealand’s oldest Land-Rover ‘R860020' - production car 20 off the assembly line in Solihull in 1948.
This convoy is the fifth and last Convoy of FIVE planned nationally to support Julian and R860020 in a Convoy of Land-Rover supporters to accompany him on the last leg of his long journey home.
Meeting point is at the Waikato Land-Rover Dealership - Duncan & Ebbett - Maahanga Drive, Te Rapa.
We will be departing at 09:00am from Hamilton and heading to Hampton Downs Motorsport Park for a photo opportunity.
Distance is 50km and should take about 45 minutes.
Hampton Downs Motorsport Park is about half way between Hamilton and Auckland, so allows Hamilton folk to head back south – or Auckland folk to meet us there to travel back north – but everyone is very welcome to drive the full trip.
The second half of the journey will be departing from Hampton Downs Motorsport Park at 10:30am to head to Ellerslie Racecourse, 100 Ascot Avenue, Remuera, Auckland.
Distance is 64km and should take about 1 hour.
