THE AVRO SCRAPHEAP CHALLENGE  -  26^th JUNE - 1^st JULY 2017

In June 2016, 28 brave people took on the challenge to drive some very old Eastern European cars from Budapest to Coventry in 4 days!  This would be a mission in a very modern car yet alone a car bought from a scrap yard!!  2088km was covered in the 4 days of driving, travelling through 8 countries.  It was a wonderful experience, far beyond our expectations.  A great bunch of “nutters” took part which helped. There were punctures, blowouts, breakdowns on a daily basis but the challenge was to get back on the road as quickly as possible and head to the next stop.  Everyone mucked in and we all looked after one another.  I am happy to say that it was not all men drivers, there were 4 ladies’ teams.   The run was such a great success that we were asked to do another one this year. I guess that says it all!!

When this idea was spoken about many people said that we were “crazy” which made us more determined to do it. What is life without a good challenge?  On the other hand we wanted to do something “SPECIAL” for the AVRO Benevolent Fund. This is a fund that is very dear to our hearts at Kelly Recovery in Ireland.  The fund was set up to alleviate the pressure and hardship in a time of need. None of us know what’s around the corner. The Industry we are all involved in is full of risks and dangers which we all face on a daily basis. It’s nice to know that we at AVRO put this fund in place many years ago, as there was nothing specifically for the Recovery Industry back then.

The AVRO Benevolent Fund is run totally independent by a Board of Trustees who do great work behind the scenes helping our fellow men and women in the industry.

We hope that you will support us in our efforts to raise much needed funds but we also want to “elevate the profile and awareness of the AVRO Benevolent Fund”

If you are up for a good challenge why not join us?  You won’t regret it
