The event was attended by over 20 Classic Car owners who paid to take part in this event. All the cars met on Sunday 24th July at Leatherhead Leisure Centre and at 10am each car was given a start off to follow a planned “Tulip” route to arrive at the Bentley Motor Museum in Halland, Sussex.
Rob Giles spoke about why they had chosen to support Cardiac Risk in the Young:
“On December 23rd, 2010 Ethan Jones, aged only 6 years old, died suddenly whilst out with his family.
Ethan came out with Leatherhead Round Table (pictured below) on the Saturday before he died when we took the sleigh out in the snow to make collections for local charitable causes.
He had no known illness and so this was a tragic and sudden death that has left a devastating impact on his family and friends. The post mortem reported that he died of Sudden Arrhythmia Death Syndrome (SADS).
Cardiac Risk in the Young (CRY) is the chosen charity that his Mum and Dad have nominated for donations. This is why Leatherhead Round Table decided to create and run an event in 2011 to raise funds in memory of Ethan for CRY.”
