  1. I promised a 24S update post and well... Who am i to let you down

     

    Many of you may well have heard of my TMP fundraiser i've been hosting annually since 2016. It's not the biggest event on the platform, nor is it the most successful. However, it's something quite a few of us hold close to our hearts since 24S is renown with having a very strong personal connection to myself and the team through the charities we support. Especially since they're abit more ''off the grid'' than the mainstream charities supported these days. That's part of it's charm really that the ''underdog'' fundraiser supports the ''underdog'' charities.

     

    Our grand reboot for 2020 will be absolutely no exception there, this year we will be proudly support Fibromyalgia Action UK (FMAUK for short: http://www.fmauk.org). A charity driven to making this chronic pain condition have less of a tight grip on peoples lives.  This post is more of an update to the fundraiser as opposed to marketing, so we'll save the description of the charity and why it's important to everyone for the marketing campaign.

     

    24S will as always have a TruckersMP based event, and it will be business as usual lasting 24 hours and having many moments of hilarity and self deprecation and me calling my team idiots because they've rolled the Convoy Control trucks AGAIN! However, the TMP event will be heavily reworked to make it a actual not terrible event. The first being making it abit more streamlined so we can run the event with less staff if necessary. It's still in early stages of planning so there's not much to say about it right now. More to come. 

     

    We shall also be revisiting the Spa race circuit in Project Cars 2 to see if we can finally finish a 24 hour race without getting shunned somehow. Not much will really change with this event bar actually not sucking at Project Cars 2. Car choice may change and a couple of minor details but nothing note worthy as of yet.

     

    However, this years fundraiser also brings something new to the table. Something that will hopefully be well received by you all. 

     

    Later this year I plan to drive a rather iconic ''bottom to top'' run here in England called Lands End to John o' Groats (usually it's done backwards but I don't like in Scotland). We plan to visit and photograph many of the UK's iconic landmarks, cities and places over a set time frame (there's not a set one just yet, although it'll most likely be 1 week). All while raising awareness for the FMAUK charity and hopefully being able to reach our fairly ambitious fundraising target.

    While we aren't planning on making this a ''real life convoy'' as such. If you wish to tag along then you are welcome to do so. Just bare in mind that as much as we'd like to. We will not be able  to pay any of your trip expenses. We shall also be leaving at set time frames and have a rough schedule we'd like to keep to in order to make this happen. So basically this means we won't be able to wait for you unless you end up in a dangerous situation (broken down on the M5 for example, we won't wait if you've simply overslept your alarm at the hotel though. Sorry.). 

     

    If you would like to keep tabs on how we're doing, we have multiple ways of doing that:

     

    The first being our fundraiser page, which you can find here: https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/24s 

     

    Here is where you can keep tabs on how much we've raised, who's donated and we shall also be posting updates on this page to keep you all in the loop. . However, these posts will be slightly compressed versions of the Discord/Facebook announcements we make.  This is also where we will be accepting our donations, all proceeds go directly to FMAUK (just like 24S 2019's went straight to TASC.) Meaning I never make contact with it for management or transferring to the charity manually since I know many of you didn't like us operating it ourselves (Which is understandable).

     

    We also have a community Facebook Page, which at some point will be receiving a new logo and banner photo to fit our new campaign: https://www.facebook.com/24SOfficial/

    You can also join our Discord, which will have the same stuff posted. However, this will be where we gather community feedback on any decisions we're thinking of making: https://discord.gg/Afbr5h 

     

    Thankyou all for reading, hopefully this update filled you in abit on what's going on at the moment :D
