> Hi everyone...
>
> This is an update on the 2004 Michigan British Reliability Run which this
> year circles one of the Great Lakes, Lake Huron, through Michigan and
> Ontario, Canada, to raise money to send underprivileged children with
> diabetes to summer camp. The Run takes place September 25-26th of this
> year. You may have read about last year's run in Classic Motorsports
> Magazine, AutoWeek Magazine, or British Marque Magazine.
>
> As of today, there are 29 teams registered for the two-day, 850 mile run
> for charity. Each team has a goal of reaching $500 in donations and I'm
> happy to report that the Little British Car Company has graciously
arranged
> space on their secure server to accept credit card donations in any amount
> for our cause. The owner, Jeff Zorn, will fax the credit card information
> to either the American Diabetes Association or the Canadian Diabetes
> Association, depending on which team receives a donation. (We have
> entrants from both countries!) Individuals making a donation will receive
> a receipt for their donation directly from the charity. Pretty simple.
>
> So here's why I am writing: first, to get more drivers involved. The
early
> registration discount ends June 30th. Second, to ask fellow British car
> enthusiasts around the world to make a donation, however small, to help
get
> kids with diabetes to an educational but fun summer camp. The money we
> raise is specifically earmarked for kids whose family's otherwise would
not
> be able to afford the cost of camp.
>
> We have cars ranging from a 1948 MG TC to a 2004 Mini and everything in
> between. There's probably a car representing whatever marque you fancy to
> which a donation would be gladly accepted. Teams personally pay all their
> expenses related to the trip, all money donated is given to the
> charities. Last year's run raised $12,000 to send children with
hemophilia
> to camp, we hope to surpass that amount this year! We've only three
months
> until the run, any size donation will help us reach our goal. Information
> and donations can be made at the very extensive event web site:
> <http://www.mibrr.com>. Thank you for your consideration and please
> forward this to any British car list you may also be on.
