What is the 2008 Self Preservation Society?


OK, you know The Italian Job? The film? The 1969 original by the way, not the Hollywood 're-make'. Less said about that the better!

Well, in the spirit of the film, several years ago a charity race started. Essentially, drive a Mini to Italy and back and raise money for charity. Stealing gold is not permitted but raising lots of money for charity is encouraged!

This blog will follow the story of two participants in the 2008 Italian Job.

Stephen Chandler and Michael Hobden will be driving an 18 year old red Mini Cooper from England to Italy and back in October this year. Through this year they will be raising money for this years chosen charity - KidsOut. The blog will describe their fundraising efforts and follow the team on the rally itself.

So want to know some more already? Well, there is a link on this page which will take you to the website for the event. Most important of all is the link to the Just Giving page for The 2008 Self Preservation Society! Please do give generously. Thank you!
