BELINDA Thorn is giving up her holiday to help an aid charity, but this is no fund-raising trek in an exotic location.<\/p>\n
Belinda, from Elmswell, will be driving <\/a>a 7.5 tonne truck across Europe to distribute everything from wheelchairs to school books and reading glasses to needy people in Kosovo.<\/p>\n The convoy has been organised by Hope and Aid Direct, which works with the Kosovan charity the Mother Theresa Society which advises on where the aid the convoys bring is most desperately needed.<\/p>\n The truck-driving volunteers then deliver it directly to the homes of those who need it.<\/p>\n Belinda, an administrator\u2019s secretary at the trade union Unite, got into it because a friend she served with in the First Aid Nursing Yeomanry had done it before.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ll have a co-driver but the first time I\u2019ll drive the truck <\/a>will be when I drive out of the car park when we pick it up,\u201d she said. \u201cI\u2019ve driven everything from tractors to a Ferrari, but I\u2019ve not driven a truck.\u201d<\/p>\n She is asking people who want to support the convoy to make donations at www.justgiving.com\/belinda-thorn<\/p>\n She wants money not goods because Hope and Aid Direct keeps track of the constantly changing needs of the people it helps.<\/p>\n Belinda said: \u201cLast week they needed wheelchairs and the week before it was coathangers.\u201d<\/p>\n Looking for Loads to Haul?http:\/\/www.findfreightloads.com\/<\/a> BELINDA Thorn is giving up her holiday to help an aid charity, but this is no fund-raising trek in an exotic location.
