Let The Fun Begin!

This is a driver’s event that is a fundraiser for charity. This year it's dedicated to helping a very worthwhile charity, The Canadian Diabetes Association, a Canadian charity dedicated to assisting people with diabetes.

The idea has grown out of the ‘America’s British Reliability Run,’ based out of Michigan and is modeled loosely on several events held yearly in Britain with the same goal: to help a worthy charity and have fun while doing so.

No, it's not a race; it's merely a test of the drivability of our old British cars. A few club members from Ontario have participated in the Michigan event in recent years and now a couple of them from the Waterloo Region, with the sponsorship of the Optimist Club of Elmira, have decided it’s time for a similar run in Canada.

This year's run, ‘The Lake Shore Run’, features a roughly 600 mile route along the scenic shores of Lake Erie and Lake Huron, hence the name “The Lake Shore Run.”

The fun begins as the participants gather in Cambridge on Friday evening, September 21 and get set to head out early Saturday morning, September 22 on their adventure, finishing up back in Cambridge on Sunday, September 23.

The event is open a maximum of just 50 vintage British cars. Get your car involved – act today and visit the CBCCR website at www.cbccr.org  to register.

This year's goal is to raise $500.00 per car to help kids with diabetes. Teams will pay their own expenses, so 100% of the donations go to the charities. Interest is already running high for this unique event.

Hope to see you there!
