AROUND THE GLOBE
Former European Cup Winner Traveling Around The Globe In An Electric Car! Rugby and Sustainability are my two biggest passions and I’m combining both in my latest project called Global Rugby Electric Drive. BY PETER BRACKEN My autistic son Noah, 9, and myself are driving around Ireland and the UK and then around the World in a fully Electric Vehicle to get people excited about Electric Mobility, Sustainability and to raise money for Noah's local autism charity Western Care. We’ll be stopping at rugby clubs and schools en route to coach rugby. It would be great to meet as many fun and interesting IIBN members as possible as we travel. And if some IIBN members could help us along the way that would be hugely appreciated. Whether with room, board, cash - all would be appreciated. Along with the above reasons for doing this adventure, it’s going to be a fantastic life/bonding experience for both myself and my son which for me is the greatest thing about the project.
