UK stationery manufacturer Pukka Pads sponsored Andrew Bell and Paul Glatzel in the recent speedboat Great British RIB Rally 2010, helping to reach their target of £10,000 for The sparkle Appeal, organized by the Victoria Education Centre, Poole.

The 12 day challenge aimed to cover 1870 nautical miles around the west coast of Ireland, along the Atlantic coast across the top of Scotland. The challenge for Andrew and Paul didn’t go quite as smoothly as hoped. We are pleased to say that Andrew managed to rejoin the boat after a short spell in hospital.

Andrew and Paul have raised over £5000 for the Sparkle Appeal and are half way to reaching their target. It’s still not too late to donate on:  www.justgiving.com/gbribrally-sparkleappeal.
