Thomas Want's your Help to Race in Canada. He is quite adamant that he wants to race a pink vehicle with number 5 on it.

Fundraising to go to Worlds Best Demolition Derby in Slave Lake Alberta Canada in June 2024.

Raumati Beach, Paraparaumu

Thomas's Grandad Bevan raced in Canada 24 years ago and at that time his 7 yr old son Ben went to watch.

Bevan was sought out and invited back, and Ben was also invited. Thomas wants to go, and now there is a race that Thomas can enter, which is for children 4 to 10yrs old. Thomas is keen as to race and loves to help out on the cars when we race here in New Zealand.

We need to raise funds for Thomas and a carer plus we must buy an electric Rideon car and get it ready to compete. We could build it here but it would cost way to much to ship and too risky

We have found a supplier in Canada.

We are also fundraising for Ben https://givealittle.co.nz/cause/benzilla-needs-help-to-get-to-the-greatest-show-on and myself to attend the event https://givealittle.co.nz/cause/mad-dog-is-heading-to-crash4cash-in-slave-lake
