Winner Donates Prize To Charity
Patterson launched his Mk2 Escort up Spelga Pass last August to take the fastest time for a Rally Car. When he was awarded the cash prize at the finish he graciously requested that the club donate the fee to their nominated charity.
“It was a very generous gesture by Wesley to offer the prize to our nominated charity” said Wesley Johnston, Rathfriland Motor Club Chairman. “We had no hesitation in contacting Action MS to present these much needed funds towards their good work.”
