UKModded and Cruise for heroes.

Seeing as its the last ever Cruise for Heroes this saturday i thought i would write a little piece about why we decided to start these cruises. It will bore you lol.....................

Back in early 2009 a young man had a vision ( well not so much a vision more he kept nagging us) to hold a cruise for the returning soliders from Iraq.

Anyway we decided to hold a returning solider  cruise in october of that year instead.We got hold of fast car they agreed to do it but could we do it august instead of oct........er yeah this was middle of july!!!. So we said yes and got to work. Changed the name to Cruise for heroes, got all the wristbands and banners sent down from  H4H got kenwood to come down with a demo car, corbeau giving away stuff etc etc.

That night turned out to be the biggest cruise the area had ever seen over 400+ cars came down to support us. We raised over £500, sold over 200 wristbands and had what many many people said was the best cruise they had been to. We were one of the first clubs to giveaway trophies at cruises that night.

So straight away we started arranging the 2010 cruise. Everything was more relaxed this time. Had nearly 10 months to arrange it got pioneer onboard etc etc. The cruise was even bigger 550+ cars nearly £600 raised for charities. Abd had another excellent write up in Fast car.

2011. We want to go out on a high thats why this will be the last one?!?. We are trying to bring you the best cars from some of the best companies in the business (xquisite and g-werks) we have a sponsor (samcosport) for the first time. We have autoglym onboard giving away freebies. We have sumopower bringing over some cars. Fast car are on board again. We have convoys running from all over. How do you top that?? For a cruise!!!

So july 23rd will be the last time the Cruise for heroes name will be used?!? No doubt you will see copycats. But they wont be like our cruise. A group of friends coming together to raise money for the most worthy cause out there. We have raised over  £1000 for h4h so far, help us try and hit £2000 before it ends.

We thank everyone who has helped us out and attended the cruise. Lets make saturday 23rd july 2011 the biggest one yet......

Told you it would bore you lol.
