Return of the Flying Carrot
Bristol, Bristol City, United Kingdom
Aim
We're racing a carrot-shaped go-kart to raise money for the British Heart Foundation in memory of friends and family we've lost.
We have now closed this campaign, having smashed our target. Thanks to everyone who donated. It means the world:)
THE PLAN
We're entering the Bristol Krazy Races on Sunday, September 7, in Victoria Park, and it means a lot. Two of our team have lost people they loved, one best mate, one dad, to heart conditions that came out of nowhere. No warnings. No second chances. It was devastating. So this year, we’re building and racing The Return of the Flying Carrot in their honour and hopefully raising a load of money for the British Heart Foundation.
RETURN OF THE CARROT
Why a carrot? Long story. But back in 2001, Packs entered the Red Bull Soapbox Race with the original Flying Carrot and came 49th out of 50. Battle-scarred and determined to do better. We’re bringing it back, faster, lighter, and even more orange.
THE CAUSE
It feels good to do something together for a proper cause.
All money raised goes to the British Heart Foundation to help fund life-saving research. We’re racing in memory of Ryan and Rory’s dad, two good souls taken far too soon.
Please, support in any way you can and let's get the carrot over that finish line.
