The Prize

Drive like a race-car driver in an exhilarating weekend you will never forget. You’ll be in safe hands with "The Stig," better known as the iconic Top Gear racing driver, as he guides you through the paces. The Stig has taught many celebrities including Tom Cruise and Lionel Ritchie and has even shown Nigel Manson and Jenson Button a trick or two.

Your weekend starts at Dunsfold, the home of Top Gear, where you will get behind the wheel of a powerful supercar before upgrading to a single seat Formula Ford racing car. You will get personal coaching from the man himself, and you’ll also be assessed on your driving skills by instructors. Lunch will be served at the track.

After your stimulating and adrenaline-fuelled day you will both get the chance to spend the evening enjoying a three-course meal with "The Stig" at a luxury Country Hotel & Spa, where you will also spend the night. Breakfast is also included. Your partner or guest will get the opportunity to either spectate on the day or just relax in the luxurious Old Thorns Hotel Spa.

The Cause

Ava Helene Atkinson was born on May 26, 2014, but because she was born so early, she experienced many health issues.

Ava was moved to the neo-natal unit where she was put on a ventilator to help her breathe. Hours later, Ava’s condition had not improved, and after discussions with the consultant it was decided that due to the severity of the health issues she had, we as parents had to make the most devastating decision of our lives, together with the care team, to withdraw treatment. Minutes after coming off the ventilator Ava passed away peacefully with her family around her.

Whilst at the hospital we were given a keepsake box in which we were able to have memories of Ava. These precious memories are there for us to look at and cherish. Her keepsake box has brought comfort to us all, so much so that we have decided we would like to put together our own memory boxes for other parents who have suffered the loss of a child.

We have decided to make these keepsake boxes ourselves and hope that these boxes will be looked at for years to come.
