Team GJD to race in endurance go karting to raise money for Down Syndrome Extra 21

‘Team GJD’ is going to battle it out over a 1200m karting circuit for six hours, to help raise money for Down Syndrome Extra 21 charity (DSE21).

This race is the main annual fund raising event for DSE21 and will be held at Buckmore Park in Kent on Saturday 28 May.

GJD is paying the entrance fee of £420 per team and hopes to raise a further £1,000 in sponsorship for DSE21, which is completely managed by volunteers consisting of parents, carers and people with Down Syndrome. The charity receives no formal funding or grants and relies on money donated or raised through fundraising events.

Money raised for the charity is used to help people with Down Syndrome to live full and rewarding lives. The main objectives of the charity are to promote equal opportunities, offer support and promote public awareness.

Greg Stuttle, Business Development Manager at GJD and one of the drivers taking part, commented: “It is a great day that combines both fundraising for a worthy charity as well as being a fantastic team building event. In previous years the race has raised over £10,000 for DSE21 and it is very satisfying to play a part in contributing towards the final total”.

So far GJD has raised £241.
