MAX?GROGAN?and his dad, Nick, took part in a spectacular 4,000-mile drive from Edinburgh to Rome over two weeks to raise money for The Rosemary Foundation in Petersfield.

In a car which cost less than £500, their Rust 2 Rome adventure raised £765 for the charity.

“It’s the first time either of us have done anything like this so to say we were nervous is a massive understatement. But it must be said that the nerves were massively outweighed by the excitement of the challenge.”

They chose the charity because it helped Max’s grandmother to spend the last few weeks of her time at home with the family. There’s more about the pair’s trip on their blog at www.thundersaab.wordpress.com and you can still sponsor them on Just Giving at www.justgiving.com/fundraising/max-grogan
