Our Story
In the vibrant halls of Cranbrook Kingswood Highschool, six spirited students found themselves drawn together by a shared love for the rumble of engines and the thrill of speed. Yet, amidst their passion for cars, they discovered a greater purpose that ignited their hearts: the desire to bring joy to children battling cancer. With empathy as their compass and determination as their fuel, they embarked on a journey to make a difference, one lap at a time. Their vision blossomed into a charity where horsepower met hope, where the roar of engines echoed the laughter of children, and where kindness raced ahead of the finish line. These six young trailblazers, proved that even in the fast-paced world of racing, there's always time to slow down and lend a helping hand to those in need.
