Mansfield Woodhouse couple Keith and Sylvia Johnson are gearing up for an annual driving event to again raise funds for Macmillan Cancer Support.

For several years the couple have driven their 1993 Land Rover Discovery in the 600-mile Mac 4×4 UK Challenge, raising more than £10,000 for the cancer charity.

The four-day event, from Thursday, 2nd to Sunday, 5th March, is a test of navigational skills, observation, on and off-road driving ability and endurance, by day and night, for a team of two people and one vehicle.

The couple hope to raise around £2,000 through sponsorship – companies can advertise on their Land Rover Discovery and individuals can back the drive – and at their annual curry night at the Naaz Indian restaurant, Mansfield Woodhouse, which will be hosted by Mansfield mayor Kate Allsop, on Monday, 27th February.

To sponsor the couple and have graphics on their vehicle, or to book tickets for the curry night when there will be a specially-created menu, contact Keith or Sylvia by emailing [email protected] or through their website www.johnsonhq.net
