HUNDREDS of fleet industry service companies and vehicle manufacturers have received letters from Kwik-Fit Fleet and FNN's sister publication, Fleet News, inviting them to join in the fleet leg of Britain's biggest charity run - the Island Race, dubbed 'The Event of the Millennium'. Hopes are high that hundreds of people from across the fleet industry will support the 'company car' leg of the run on June 6.

The fleet section covers 43 miles from Woodham Ferrers, near Chelmsford, to Purfleet with the aim of raising £100,000 for charity with 50% going to BEN. It is hoped that 100 companies will put up a runner or runners who will be tasked with raising £1,000. If companies can't provide their own runner(s), Kwik-Fit will provide one and then seek 100 companies prepared to pledge £1,000 towards that individual competing.
