Blue Print, a distribution company for Japanese and Korean car parts, will be fundraising for BEN with its rally which kicks off on May 17.

Twenty-four Blue Print teams will start the 2,000 mile rally at BEN’s headquarters in Kent. Each team has to make the seven day journey which takes them through France, Spain and eventually to Blue Print's parent company offices just outside Lisbon in Portugal in a Korean or Japanese car costing less than £500.

Each team has to raise a minimum of £100 for BEN in order to take part, and it is hoped that at least £5,000 will be raised in total.

Charles Davis, BEN director of fundraising & communications, said: "This type of event takes a great deal of organisation and I would like to thank Automotive Distributors, Blue Print's parent company, for managing this event and for nominating BEN as the main beneficiary. We wish everyone involved a safe and successful rally."
