Hi everyone...

This is an update on the 2004 Michigan British Reliability Run which this 
year circles one of the Great Lakes, Lake Huron, through Michigan and 
Ontario, Canada, to raise money to send underprivileged children with 
diabetes to summer camp.  The Run takes place September 25-26th of this 
year.  You may have read about last year's run in Classic Motorsports 
Magazine, AutoWeek Magazine, or British Marque Magazine.

As of today, there are 29 teams registered for the two-day, 850 mile run 
for charity.  Each team has a goal of reaching $500 in donations and I'm 
happy to report that the Little British Car Company has graciously arranged 
space on their secure server to accept credit card donations in any amount 
for our cause.  The owner, Jeff Zorn, will fax the credit card information 
to either the American Diabetes Association or the Canadian Diabetes 
Association, depending on which team receives a donation.  (We have 
entrants from both countries!)  Individuals making a donation will receive 
a receipt for their donation directly from the charity.  Pretty simple.

So here's why I am writing: first, to get more drivers involved.  The early 
registration discount ends June 30th.  Second, to ask fellow British car 
enthusiasts around the world to make a donation, however small, to help get 
kids with diabetes to an educational but fun summer camp.  The money we 
raise is specifically earmarked for kids whose family's otherwise would not 
be able to afford the cost of camp.

We have cars ranging from a 1948 MG TC to a 2004 Mini and everything in 
between.  There's probably a car representing whatever marque you fancy to 
which a donation would be gladly accepted.  Teams personally pay all their 
expenses related to the trip, all money donated is given to the 
charities.  Last year's run raised $12,000 to send children with hemophilia 
to camp, we hope to surpass that amount this year!  We've only three months 
until the run, any size donation will help us reach our goal.  Information 
and donations can be made at the very extensive event web site:

forward this to any British car list you may also be on.

Cheers,
Blake Discher, event organizer
