A fantastic message of support from autohr and broadcaster, Mr Simon Reeve<\/span><\/h4>\n

Simon Reeve, who has been around the world for the BBC TV series Tropic of Cancer, Tropic of Capricorn and Equator, said:<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat an epic journey!\u00a0Having been out there on the road around\u00a0the planet I can assure you the Follow The Fire Engine Challenge will be tough, exhausting, draining and amazing. I wish the team the very best of luck on their expedition, and I hope everyone will get behind them and support them as they attempt to raise sack-loads of money for three extremely worthy causes.\u201d<\/div>\n

\u201cWhen I heard about the journey that the team of 25 are embarking on, I was amazed, especially when I heard that they are donating their own time and money to raise funds for very worthwhile causes. Spending months on the road in a fire engine is not everyone\u2019s idea of a great time, but it is an incredible way of raising money for three great charities. I hope that people will go out to meet the team as they journey across the world and donate generously via the website.\u00a0\u00a0I\u2019ll be keeping an eye on their progress from the moment they leave London in July and look forward to seeing them back in one piece when they return in 2011.\u201d”<\/p>\n

Good luck to all involved \u2013 have a great time and enjoy the experience.”\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Jason<\/p>\n
