Mitch's inspiration comes from his 8 month old daughter (Veronica) who got a bad blood infection (possibly Meningitis) and has spent a lot time in the Hospital. She has since been diagnosed with a kidney abnormality which means she will be a regular visitor to SickKids for monitoring. Needless to say, he TOTALLY believes in Sick Kids and wants to raise money and have some fun at the same time. The fund raising event is a 40 hour drive-a-thon featuring an 'Eye Catching' vintage Volkswagen Baja Bug followed by a charity Picnic. The drive-a-thon route will take the Punch Buggy up and down Torontos busiest streets and will offer great visibility and exposure for Punch Buggy 4 SickKids. The event will begin in the very early morning hours of Thursday May 29th and will end after 40 hours of driving on Saturday May 31st at 1:00pm with the Punch Buggy Picnic and 'Beetle Invasion' of Coronation Park. For the last few hours of the drive-a-thon, other Volkswagen Beetle enthusiasts are invited to join in the drive-a-thon on the streets of Toronto for a Punch Buggy Parade. The goal is to fill the streets with the distinct sights and sounds of Volkswagne Beetles strutting their stuff for a good cause. The Punch Buggy Picnic will follow the drive-a-thon at Coronation Park which is located at the main entrance to the Canadian National Exhibition. Food and drink will be served and Volkswagen Beetle Clubs from all over southern Ontario will be displaying their cars. Everyone is Welcome! And with your help, we believe that we can exceed our goal of raising $10,000.00. See you there! For more
