Shake & Bake - Soapbox 27



This Soapbox engineering project is making great progress as this team focuses on achieving impressive speeds! 


The double father & son team of Brad, Doug, Jono and Huw, have gone all out, even converting a large family birthday party into a kart building workshop! 


Team member Brad shares, "The kart is ready to go, in the style of a classic old-school racer, all that is needed now is to attach the body panels and apply our sponsor & charity decals, however, the final design will remain top-secret until race day!"

Johnathan is also a member of Leics & Rutland Blood Bikes...

"Through this soapbox opportunity we are hoping to raise funds to boost our support of the blood bike team .  This will enable them to continue their out of hours transportation service that can directly benefit patient care." 


The Leicestershire & Rutland Blood Bikes are a group of volunteers that provide a free, “out of hours” courier service to public health bodies in Leicestershire & Rutland giving 24 hour cover inclusive of weekends & public holidays.

You can help keep this vital service running via their Just Giving page.... https://www.justgiving.com/lrbloodbikes
