Local car enthusiast Stuart Dixon’s generosity appears to keep growing, and he has recently handed over his latest cheque for £43,226.05 to Bluebell Wood Children’s Hospice. This brings his total fundraising to date for the charity to over £348,650.
Stuart, from Retford, has dedicated hours of his time to combining fundraising and his love of cars. He covers some of his racing cars with permanent, sponsored, coloured vinyl stickers in return for a donation to the charity, and also drives them around the country to county shows, country fairs and Jaguar and classic car shows, as well as attending restaurant and garage ‘open days’. At the shows, people donate to sit in the cars and at some shows ride in them.
He said: “I would like to thank all my drivers, helpers and everyone who has put their name on my cars.
“If anyone would like to help me reach half a million please contact me on sherwoodjaguarracing@gmail.com.”
