Music for MS in London

     

Celebrating the Royal Wedding

I helped the CMA out with interviews with CTV- Canadian TV to share the excitement on the day in London.

Wow what a fantastic day for us all. Shared the really amazing experience with friends at the Royal Over Seas League. Wish Prince William & Kate now the Duke & Duchess of Cambridge all the very best. :0) xx

                                                          

My love of Drag Racing has grown so much since I found the sport in 2009.
After working hard with Jon Webster, all of the Santa Pod Track Team – and especially Nitro FM – I have just reviewed my personal, racing, & training position while still able to participate (as a trained nurse always does!)

As a result Sue Collins from Mongoose & Powerchips with Gary Page have offered me an exciting opportunity to train as a Top Fuel Driver. WOW! Here is Sue's incredible new team car in action at the FIA Santa Pod Event.I hope one day will be able to race a Top Fuel Funny Car or Dragster so lots of training and lessons will be needed!
 Will keep you posted on my progress and new opportunities to support my MS Mission in the UK & globally with all of my Drag Racing Friends.

MS Trust is Santa Pod lead charity

The MS Trust was the lead charity at the 2010 FIA Main Event at Santa Pod held over the UK Spring Bank holiday.  

The MS Trust (while at Santa Pod) were able to provide information and support on site to anyone that asked and raised a grand total of £835.02 – £689.49 from the stand & £145.53 from Team Edge.

All the funds raised are to help support health care professionals working to promote people's lives with MS and the role of the MS Nurse.

There is still a shortfall of 150 MS specialist nurses in the  UK so the MS Trust will continue to campaign and support nurses in post by providing information & education.

The MS nurses are truly invaluable, as I have found over the last 16 years living with MS – so it's a worthwhile and invaluable service provided to people affected by MS. 

My role for this particular event was to help raise awareness about MS with Nitro FM among the large numbers of people attending, as well as to work with all of the drag racing teams that wanted to help too. Here is my My Full Santa Pod Charity Support July Report. 
Amazing raffle prizes were donated by top racing teams which helped the MS Trust raise awareness & support. There were also educational radio adverts by Alex Alam & Gary Page (listen to the MS Trust MS Advert).

Thanks to every one that helped with this fantastic event your help is so appreciated and does make a real difference to people with MS.

To help with my physical ability & fitness I'm excited to report I now have a NEW PERSONAL TRAINER. Runner up of UK BBC 3 The Last Woman Standing, Alex Alam has been truly inspirational both when watching her on the BBC TV Show & since she started giving me her expert and amazing advice to help transform my physical stamina.

             Alex

Alex is getting ready to visit Santa pod for THE MAIN EVENT and will be supporting me with Nitro FM to promote Team Edge & The MS Trust.

 

The next racing event for Enigma was THE BIG BANG at Santa pod for the weekend of 23-25 April.

Further engine & performance work continues on Enigma by Adrenaline Race, so I hope to experience even faster speeds! will keep you posted on how we do. Sadly Enigma is experiencing some engine challenges at the present time and I'm not able to race for Team Edge due to the vehicle engine problems – but Gordon is racing The Edge for the Team Edge, so all the very best for the rest of the racing season.

The Competition 2010  Racing Events are well underway with the Santa Pod Easter Thunder Ball. This is the official start to the UK Drag racing season, so please wish me good fortune!! I'm going to close my eyes take a deep breath and go for it and talk about it all on Nitro FM!

It’s early days yet, but would you be interested in a London bridge walk when the weather starts to improve?

I’m planning to take part in a walk that will see participants crossing 16 of London’s bridges, including all the capital’s central landmarks: London Bridge, the Millennium Bridge, Tower Bridge, Westminster Bridge and more.

We’re not planning to raise sponsorship for this event, and will instead be charging for tickets – with all proceeds going to support the MS Society. Everyone’s invited, the day’s going to fun, and I’d love to see you there. If you’d like to learn more, drop me a line.

Drag Racing

If you’d asked me back in 2007 whether I’d be taking part in the fastest motor sport on earth – and within only two years – I’d have given you a resounding “no”.

But after a fantastic first visit to Santa Pod raceway for the Easter Thunder Ball in 2009, I was so impressed – by the sport, the staff and the brilliant facilities for disabled people. That day was the spark that inspired me to get on the drag racing track to raise money for MS!

After my doctor gave me the go-ahead (you can read about my own MS here), FIA Race Director Darren Prentice organised a passenger thrill ride for me in Santa Pod’s two-seat dragster at the Summer Nationals. This amazing 9.8 litre car lets rip with a jaw-dropping 1000 horsepower!

   
The ride was breathtaking MY  Top driver Jon Webster and his team not only looked after me, but they kick-started a new passion. The Santa Pod kindness didn’t stop there. Nitro FM, Santa Pod’s radio station, gave me an opportunity to talk about Multiple Sclerosis and the work of the MS Trust, not to mention whetting my appetite for broadcasting – I ended up co-presenting when the European and UK finals came along.

Drag racing has been a wonderful way to raise both awareness and money for Multiple Sclerosis charities – and in the company of some of the most amazing people I’ve met. I’m looking forward to throwing lots more enthusiasm and time into the family atmosphere of drag racing, and I’d love it if you could help in some way. Take a look at my Justgiving page for ideas and more information.
