Dear Customer,

We thought you might be interested to know that Richard Carter, Sales Executive and a well-known face to at Crown Honda in Hendon, will be running the London Marathon in April this year, aiming to raise a whopping £6,000 for Phab Kids. Crown Honda aims to play its part in helping him reach this target and we hope you’ll help, too.

Richard was motivated after the passing of his brother, 18 months ago, who suffered from cerebral palsy. Phab Kids played a vital role in improving the quality of his life during his childhood with activity days and camps. Richard would like to repay some of the kindness shown to his brother and family by the charity.

The first Phab project began in 1957, and for nearly 60 years, the charity has encouraged and supported children and adults with and without disabilities to make more of life and come together on equal terms. There are over 170 Phab clubs with 8,000 members in all age ranges from under eights to over 80s, right across England and Wales. Richard praises the charity for helping disabled children and young adults like his brother with its adventurous activities and camps.

He says: "It's an amazing charity that I'm so proud to have been chosen to represent. We all have personal stories of both the young and old being affected by disabilities and you can't help but be moved and touched by the stories of resilience and love from beneficiaries of the charity.

“It is a big fund-raising target I'm aiming for but this will make a huge difference. Any amount, no matter how small, will mean the world to me personally and to the charity. Together, I know we can smash the target and then it’s just down to on me to deliver on the running!"

The Virgin Money London Marathon will be taking place on Sunday 23 April. Crown Honda has promised to give £100 to Phab Kids for every car bought from Richard from April 10th to May 10th 2017 by customers receiving this email.

Alternatively, if you’re not at the point where you’re ready to buy your next car, could you help Richard reach his target by sponsoring him instead via a donation? Then visit his JustGiving page at: www.justgiving.com/team-eds
