Cars belonging to about 80 families and car enthusiasts
leave Tahuna Park in Dunedin yesterday as part of a charity
cruise around Dunedin yesterday to raise money for Otago
Community Hospice.
Among them was Margaret Gallacher and her grandson Jack
Ingram (6).
Mrs Gallacher said her husband, Jim, spent time in the
hospice before his death last year, and as car enthusiasts
for many years, doing the cruise in her husband's "baby", a
1973 Mini, seemed an ideal way to do something good for the
hospice.
The hospice was "wonderful" and needed all the financial help
it could get, she said.
Six months in the planning, the Otago Community Hospice
Charity Cruise was the second annual event organised and run
by the Southern Skyline Enthusiasts car club.
Member Andrew Webster proposed the cruise after his mother
died in the hospice in November 2008. The fundraiser was his
way of saying thanks for looking after her, he said.
The cruise raised about $980.
