TeamVAM’s story

Club Triumph has organised a Round Britain tour in aid of various charities every two years since 1966 raising almost £900,000 along the way.
This year's supported charity, Parkinson's UK, is one that has personal significance to Shaun and family as on January 26th 2025, his Mother, Jean Roche Sandbach lost her spirited battle with Parkinson's Disease.
Team VAM, comprising John Welsh, renown Classic Triumph Hill Climb and Sprinter Hamish Roscoe and Shaun Roche will campaign this year's event in a 1983 Triumph Acclaim; that's almost 2000 miles in 48 hours from Knebworth up to John O'Groats then down to Land's End finishing back in Knebworth in a 42 year old Triumph!
What better way to raise money for this fantastic organisation than to combine our love of driving with a chance to raise money in Jean's name.
Whether we'll still have that love of driving after the event is another matter!
All costs for food, fuel and maintenance will be met by the crew, not the charity - unlike other fundraising platforms, 100% of all funds raised through Wonderful actually go to Parkinson's UK; that is indeed, Wonderful! :)
Thanks for looking - we hope you are inspired to make a donation to this enormously worthy cause!
Cheers,
Shaun, John and Hamish.
Sponsor Team VAM and honour Jean's legacy by supporting Parkinson's UK.
Together, let's drive towards a cure!
