A BARNSLEY duo are preparing for a 4,500 mile journey from Edinburgh to Rome in a car costing just £500 to raise money for charity.
Paediatric Sister, Zoe Shaw and Danny Williams are taking part in the Rust 2 Rome event to support the Tiny Hearts Appeal and the Paediatric Emergency Department.
Zoe and Danny decided to fundraise for the appeal after Danny’s daughter (now aged 11) spent time on the Special Care Baby Unit.
The pair will face extremely challenging roads in their car, a Lexus GS300 and will be spending most of their nights camping.
They have named their team Lexus go to Rome and will begin the the 10 day journey on June 28.
Zoe says: “We’re both a bit nervous now about the trip, it’s something completely different to what we’ve done before and out of our comfort zone, we don’t even know the route until the week before we go but it’s such a fantastic cause, and we’re both really excited.”
