Howards Toyota clock-up the miles for #RND15

Weston-Super-Mare based motor dealership Howards Toyota are clocking up the miles in aid of Red Nose Day 2015, aiming to raise over £2750.

Toyota GB are the official partners of Comic Relief this year and have been challenged to raise £1million across the UK, enlisting the help of their employees and network dealerships to support this ambitious goal. As part of this commitment, Howards Toyota have a whole host of activities underway to help hit their own target, including a weekly cycling challenge. The team are aiming to cover the distance between Lands End to John O’Groats (and back to the Weston-Super-Mare dealership) without ever having to leave the showroom. In total this is an impressive 1543 miles in 6 days. In support, every Friday the team are also hosting their very own “bakeoff”, selling the best cakes in Somerset.

Paul Rengert, Sales Manager for Howards Toyota, is pleased with how the events have been going so far. “The reception from all our customers has been fantastic with well over £800 raised in the first 10 days alone. There is plenty of lycra to be seen every Wednesday so we encourage everyone to come down and support this fantastic cause.”

Also, Howards Toyota are an official stockist of the popular car red nose, available for only £5 with the full amount going to Comic Relief. Want to get involved? Red Nose Day are also raising money through the “Making Your Face Funny For Money” campaign, already seeing a whole host of celebrities getting involved with creative makeovers, including the team at Radio 1.
