DoLorean is right on time for Derbyshire charity pitstop
The challenge – dubbed a Lift for Lifelites – asked volunteers for lifts to a landmark in every county in England and Wales, taking in nearly 50 en route in a variety of weird and wonderful vehicles.
Simone started from the charity’s small office in London on Friday, April 26, and so far she’s travelled in a Tuk Tuk, a fire engine, a steam train and a Ferrari to landmarks such as Bleinheim Palace, Goodwood and the National Space Centre.

Simone said: “Derbyshire Freemasons are dedicated supporters of Lifelites, and we’re so grateful that they volunteered their time and vehicles to help us complete this challenge.
“We have been absolutely blown away by the response we’ve had from volunteers all over the country and can’t thank people enough. The money they’ve helped us to raise will be life-changing for the life-limited and disabled children that we support in their area.”
All the money raised will go towards Lifelites work donating and maintaining specialist technology to give children in hospices the opportunity to play, be creative, control something for themselves and communicate, for as long as it is possible.

“Every moment is precious for these children and their families, and we want to make sure they can make the most of every second.
“We can only do this thanks to the generosity of our supporters, like Derbyshire Freemasons.”
