Go to this meet in the UK for a good cause

Very rarely do we get the opportunity to do something that's car related and that's for a selfless cause. I'm sure some of you may know about this already but I'd feel pretty bad if I didn't try to spread the word around here so here it goes...

losing my son please help - ScoobyNet

When: 9/8/2012 1pm
Where: FRED LAWTON LTD MELTHAM MILLS INDUSTRIAL ESTATE, MELTHAM HUDDERSFIELD,HD9 4AY

Why:
"hi all i cant believe im about to say this but here goes i have just been informed that my 11 year old son has around 4 weeks to live for those who dont know he had leukeamia aged 2 and beat it then last year we had the devastating news that he had a cancerous brain tumor they operated and removed it and we thought all was well until friday when we were given the news it had returned in 2 places and there is nothing more they can do to help him as you can imagine we are totally devastated and have to try to make the most of our time left with our little boy so heres where i hope you can all help me i promised him a few weeks ago before i found out about this that i would take him to a car gathering as he is a massive fan of sports/modified cars mainly subaru,s evo,s etc but i cannot find one so i thought i would try arrange one just for him so i can keep that promise!"

For more info...

Important note for you guys...
"hi all and again my daily thank you and grattitude to everyone for there kind words and support! i would just like to add for my own piece of mind too so everybody knows the score that my son DOES NOT KNOW the tumour has come back he just thinks he is unwell so please more important than anything is that HE IS NOT made aware in any way thank you all so much again"

From jalopnik
"Right now, the show is still scheduled to be at the original address, which is Fred Lawton Ltd, Meltham Mills Industrial Estate, Meltham Hudderfield, HD9 4AY. However, if the show gets too large, there is talk of even taking over an airfield for the day."

Sorry if this is a repost.

I know this is a little old now, but I actually tagged along to this meet (and had my badges nicked, but that's another story...).

The Sun and Daily Mail both ran an article on the meet, which was a huge success (it can be found by clicking here )

Unfortunately, Connor passed away shortly before Christmas.

Yea I read that on jalopnik as well. Well, alot of people did their best to make his remaining moments better so that's definitely a plus.
