Adrenaline seeking celebrities Pamela Ballantine, Siobhan McGarry, Nuala McKeever and Sonya Mac were kicking up the dust on the rally track at Superdrive Motorsports Centre in Portadown today to launch the 2010 Ladies Charity Challenge.
The beneficiaries of this year's Superdrive Ladies Charity Challenge are Marie Curie Cancer Care who provides free care for local people who are terminally ill with cancer and other life limiting illnesses and provide support for their families, and also Sonya Mac's New York Marathon Appeal for Cool FM's Cash for Kids that provides funding and support for disadvantaged children in Northern Ireland.
The Superdrive Ladies Charity Challenge will see television presenter Pamela Ballantine , broadcaster and Sunday Life Columnist Siobhan McGarry, Cool FM's Sonya Mac, Comedienne and Actress Nuala McKeever and Unislim Ambassador Nicola Bleakley, each to captain a team of 10 lady competitors in a challenging day of rally driving, karting, mini-digger driving, 4x4 off road and a marathon obstacle course.
Superdrive Managing Director, Brendan Crealey said,
"The Ladies Charity Challenge is a fantastic way to raise money for two very worthy charities. It is also a great way to learn a few motorsport skills, make new friends and have some fun at the same time."
"Last time we held the Ladies Charity Challenge in 2004 the fantastic ladies raised over £14 000 for the charities and I have no doubt that this years challenge could raise even more!"
Each competitor will be asked to raise a minimum of £350 in sponsorship to take part and all monies raised will be split between Marie Curie Cancer Care and Sonya Mac's New York Marathon Appeal for Cool FM's Cash for Kids charity.
There are lots of fantastic prizes to be won on the day including a on-location family photo shoot and album from Paula O'Hara Photography, a Rally Driving Break for two at the Seagoe Hotel, a home teeth whitening kit from Belmore Dental Studio and Implant Clinic and more exciting prizes being added every day. The 1st, 2nd and 3rd overall winners will also receive fantastic trophies donated by Nigel O'Hara Diamond Jeweller. Special prizes will also be awarded to the top three ladies raising the most money for the charities.
