Keith Stewart is spearheading Banger Challenge 2025 which involves participants buying a pre-1980 car for less than £3,000 and then driving it 1,000 miles consecutively, starting today (Monday, March 17).
The drive, which set off from Fishergate in York before crossing the Humber Bridge and through the Lincolnshire Wolds, is in memory of Leeds Rhinos rugby league icon Rob Burrow and is raising funds for the centre in the Seacroft Hospital unit which bears his name.
Keith said: “They say the old ones are the best and we’re hoping to prove that’s the case when it comes to raising money for the Rob Burrow MND Centre.
“We’re all car nuts who have been inspired by Rhinos legend Rob’s bravery in the face of MND and the long-distance running fundraising efforts of his former team-mate Kevin Sinfield.
