Bury St Edmunds Distinguished Gentleman’s Drive through Suffolk raised thousands for men’s health charities




A classic car drive has raised thousands of pounds for men’s mental health and prostate cancer charities.

The Distinguished Gentleman’s Drive, which started from Krazy Horse in Bury St Edmunds, is part of a global fund-raiser.

On September 29, drivers made their way from Bury to Clare Country Park, near Sudbury, as they took part in the event.

The Bury drive, which finished at Worlington Hall, near Mildenhall, raised a total of £9,421 - coming eighth, in terms of fund-raising, worldwide.

Graeme Whiting, event organiser, said: “The biggest thank you goes to the drivers and their crews who worked tirelessly in raising sponsorship, preparing their cars and putting together their outfits.

“Everyone enjoys a friendly and fun day while we remember those that we've lost to prostate cancer or mental health issues.”
